Caressa Smith

Employee Giver of the Quarter

“I have been working at the Hope Center for the past four years. I have survived childhood trauma and have experienced homelessness as a youth and an adult. Working at Hope Center allows me to give back the love and grace that I have received. Jeremiah 29:11 states, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a future and a hope.” I am living proof of that promise and what can happen when we give generously and invest in people. Employee giving allows me to pay forward the love, hope, and grace I have been given so that others can experience the promise in Jeremiah 29:11.”
