At Mission of Hope, we believe that hope comes in many forms. Sometimes, it’s a box of food or a backpack filled with school supplies. Other times, it’s the simple ability to safely enter and exit your own home. That’s the heart behind Bridge of Hope—our ramp ministry serving families throughout Rural Appalachia.

Many of the people we serve are elderly or physically disabled, and their homes often lack the accessibility they need. Front steps that were once manageable become dangerous barriers. Caregivers are forced to carry loved ones in and out of their homes. That’s where Bridge of Hope comes in.

Our dedicated volunteer construction teams provide and build handicapped-accessible ramps for those in need—free of charge. These ramps are more than just wood and nails; they are life-changing structures that restore independence, safety, and peace of mind.

Recently, one of our construction teams returned to Pineville to complete a special ramp project that began late last year. The woman living in the home requires assistance to get in and out of the house. Now, thanks to the completion of her new ramp, she and her family can safely come and go with ease. They were overjoyed and incredibly thankful for this gift of accessibility—and so are we.

Each ramp we build is a visible reminder that hope is not only felt—it can be seen. We’re deeply grateful for the volunteers who give their time and skills to serve through Bridge of Hope. Together, we are removing obstacles and opening doors—literally and figuratively—for families across the mountains.
