Side by Side in Recovery: The Impact of Adopting a House
One of the most impactful ways to serve with Hope is Alive is through our Adopt-a-House Program! This unique opportunity enables Sunday school classes, community organizations, and individual supporters to form meaningful connections with residents in our recovery homes.
What started with just four partnerships at the beginning of 2025 has now grown to 58+ across Oklahoma City! Each of our eight homes here — six for men and two for women — has several groups or individuals who have stepped in to surround residents with encouragement, prayer, and friendship. Those who adopt a house find that it is just as meaningful and impactful for them as it is for the residents, if not more so.
The beauty of adopting a house is that it’s never really about the stuff. Yes, supplies and meals are part of it, but what makes the program so powerful is the way it builds relationships. Over time, residents get to know the people who keep showing up for them, and volunteers begin to feel like part of the family. These connections create a sense of community where everyone is seen, valued, and loved.
If you want to volunteer but don’t know how much you can contribute, know that there is no pressure to fit into a rigid schedule or commit to something that doesn’t work for you. Some people jump in every month, others every other month, and some just once a quarter. It’s all about what fits into your life!
“Whether someone is able to be consistent month after month, or just step in a few times a year, the residents still feel the impact,” shared Volunteer Coordinator Danny Borris.
