$20 for 20 Years

Since 2005, Hope House of Manitowoc County has been a vital resource for homeless families in our community. What began as a rotating shelter hosted by local churches has grown into a permanent, welcoming facility located at 1000 South 35th Street in Manitowoc.

In 2017, our Board of Directors made the pivotal decision to establish a permanent site, allowing us to better serve families in need. Today, our facility can accommodate up to 35 individuals and includes shared spaces such as a living room, dining room, playroom, and laundry room.

Hope House operates as a 90-day transitional program, helping families regain stability and move toward independence. Through personalized case management, life skills training, and assistance in accessing essential services, we empower our residents to build a brighter future. While school-age children attend school during the day, parents have the opportunity to work, connect with resources, and actively participate in their case plans.

To commemorate two decades of service, we are launching our “$20 for 20 Years” fundraising campaign. Your contribution will help us continue providing the vital services and supplies our families need to thrive.

Every donation—no matter the size—makes a meaningful difference. Thank you for supporting Hope House and the families of Manitowoc County.
