In the 1980s, a group of Woodland residents became concerned about people in Woodland who were homeless and hungry. They began passing out peanut butter sandwiches and bananas in sack lunches. This initial effort grew to become a soup kitchen in partnership with local churches. A short time later, those volunteers could no longer just feed people who were hungry and homeless and send them back out to sleep in cardboard covers, baseball dugouts, parks, and alleyways; there was the realization of a greater need.
In 1985, the volunteers formally organized and created Yolo Wayfarer Center Christian Mission (now doing business as Fourth & Hope), a nonprofit organization. We are a faith-based community organization with more than 35 years of experience serving people in need of housing and food.
Our three primary program areas are:
- Homeless Services
- Treatment
- Housing
It is the mission of Fourth & Hope to feed, clothe, shelter, and facilitate recovery to those in need and to show the love of Jesus Christ in words and actions.
We provide a safe, welcoming environment to all and do not discriminate against any protected classes. We operate under Charitable Choice where everyone is welcome.
This mission is accomplished by providing a continuum of care for people who are homeless and hungry and moving them from the street to stability.
Our shelter and food program relies on your donations.
Toiletries (individual size toothpaste/toothbrush, bar soap, razors, deodorant, feminine hygiene), socks (men and women).
Bath size towels (new or lightly used).
Twin sheet sets, twin blankets, pillows (new or lightly used).
Volunteers to cook meals are always needed. Contact the volunteer team at volunteer@fourthandhope.org to learn more.
