Our History

Mt. Hope Sanctuary, Inc. was established in December of 2003 by Candace Lundberg, Kimberly Snyder and Jeni Hanken. Knowing that God was leading them in the direction of providing ministry to women, the three had organized an Outreach Women's Ministry three years prior through their church.

Their experiences in that Outreach Ministry opened their eyes to an urgent need in their community to minister especially to single women and their children.
​
Realizing that they needed to be faithful to the Lord to meet the needs he put before them and also that the needs were greater than any single church could support, the three set out to organize a non-profit ministry whose mission was to provide a sanctuary that offered HOPE {Healing, Opportunity, Peace and Empowerment} to single women who were committed to achieving self-sufficiency.​
