OneLove

From the humble halls of Rogers Park Baptist Church, the Shelter of Hope Foundation embarked on an incredible journey. In a mere eight years, what started with just six passionate youth blossomed into a vibrant community of over 400 enthusiastic young souls every week. Imagine this: the echoes of basketballs bouncing, the melody of fresh songs taking shape in our recording studio, the joy of shared meals, and the enlightenment of our afterschool initiative, "Youth With a Purpose."

 Dive into our story and see how hope truly transforms lives.

Within the foreboding walls of Division 10, Maximum Security, on Floor 2B, lies a beacon of transformation: The Life Learning Dorm. Here, every 15 months, we touch the lives of 75 men, not just with Bible studies and technology, but by equipping them with anger management skills and, most importantly, the profound realization of their inherent worth. We believe in their potential as leaders, vital for our society's fabric, and we've seen them rise, time and time again. Join us in championing change where it's least expected but most needed.

Venturing into the storied streets of Chicago's renowned west side community, North Lawndale, Shelter of Hope took a bold step. On this ground, we acquired property with a vision that was more than just bricks and mortar: Studio 29:11! A haven for youth, a center of dreams, and a testament to the belief that even in the toughest terrains, hope can flourish. Dive into our journey as we transform spaces and lives at Studio 29:11.

In collaboration with Cathy's Ultimate Soul Food restaurant, we embarked on a heartwarming mission. Year after year, we've had the privilege of serving over 2,500 cherished individuals, offering them not just a meal during Easter and Thanksgiving but a feast of community and warmth. Together, we believe in nourishing bodies and souls, sharing the spirit of giving where it's most needed. Join us in this celebration of togetherness and gratitude.

In the bustling hallways of a Chicago High School, a group of young men found themselves labeled as "troubled." But where society saw a label, OneLove saw untapped potential. We recognized leaders, visionaries, and change-makers. From this belief, OneLove emerged, a testament to the idea that potential can be found in the most unexpected places. Join us in celebrating a journey where adversity transforms into leadership.

In March of 2022, with renewed passion and commitment, OneLove embarked on a fresh journey, setting roots in Atlanta, Georgia. Our mission remains unchanged: to touch and transform lives.
