Our story began in response to a tragic shooting that left the world missing a beautiful young man with a giant heart & a passion for helping inner-city children. To honor his memory, his family asked his pastor, Daren McGrew, how they could make a difference in a community beset by senseless violence.

After speaking with local urban pastors and leaders, the idea was born to provide spiritual, social, & academic mentoring to children from the inner-city.

 
For over 20 years, Faith Hope & Love has provided mentoring services to inner-city youth in Charlotte.  The children we reach receive little support at home.  They suffer from a lack of resources such as food, furniture and transportation.  It is little wonder that they fall behind in school. We have seen countless changed lives, dark futures become bright, and sad faces turn to smiles. Our program is successful because Christ is the cornerstone of all we do. 

Early in our history, our model was evaluated in a study by Harvard University. The results were consistent with what we already knew to be true: FHL makes a profound difference in the lives of our children academically, socially & spiritually.

We have remained faithful to that unique model ever since, matching committed & mature mentors in one-on-one relationships with children.  Our mentors are doctors, lawyers, professors, grad students, bankers, & businessmen & businesswomen, but what they all have in common is a passion for helping kids. 

We are an independent, 501(c)3 organization. We do not receive public funding. Please consider supporting Faith Hope & Love so that we can continue to help those most in need: the precious children.
