St. Anselm's HOPE Project helps provide emotional, spiritual, as well as physical necessities to our neighbors in the Washington Park community. Gathering together in a spirit of community and self-help, food and other necessities are earned through a commitment to self-development, respectful of the dignity of persons. Every Wednesday at 4:00 p.m. a meal is served, followed by the "HOPE Circle" in which the joys and troubles of life are shared and discussed with an eye to what actions can be taken.
