About:
Expect Hope, a Christ-centered residential program for unsupported, expectant women, provides a safe residence for mothers who desire to prepare a life for their new families. It is a privately funded, nonprofit organization serving women in the Bronx, New York.
Expect Hope provides essential social services through a holistic approach that addresses the material, emotional, and spiritual needs of each woman. The program equips each mother with Biblical counseling, training, and mentoring.

Volunteer Opportunities
When I first came into the home, it was filled with genuine love and compassion and a lot of support....In light of what I've learned at Expect Hope, my view of God is that He's a provider and a sustainer and I'm very grateful that He allowed me to have this second chance.
