Restoration of Hope to unveil new bunkhouse facility

TEXARKANA, TX—Restoration of Hope, a Texarkana- based nonprofit ministry aiding men transitioning from prison or homelessness, will host a ribbon- cutting ceremony for its new bunkhouse facility on Wednesday, December 6, at 11 a.m., located at 1116 Walnut Street in Texarkana, Texas.

Along with the Texarkana Chamber of Commerce, Restoration of Hope invites the public to attend to learn more about the organization, tour the new bunkhouse, and enjoy refreshments.

Founded in 2020, Restoration of Hope has been a beacon of support for more than 1,500 men seeking a fresh start. They offer 90-day and 6-month programs that provide these men with the opportunity for a fresh start, including:

• Transitional housing;

• Addiction, family, and spiritual counseling;

• On-the-job vocational training in trades including welding, electrician work, HVAC, carpentry, landscaping, and catering;

• Medical and dental care assistance;

• And help securing documents needed for employment.

The ministry provides a faith-based home, addressing fundamental needs such as housing, food, transportation, accountability, and spiritual guidance.

Restoration of Hope’s unique approach involves helping men establish a daily routine centered around Christ, paving the way for employment, restored family relationships, basic financial planning, and the development of personalized life skills.

“Before Restoration of Hope, I had ruined every relationship, lost my family, and felt separated from God,” said Marquis Ewing, a graduate of Restoration of Hope’s program. “Now, I have full custody of my two boys, mended relationships, a successful business, a place to stay, and, most importantly, a renewed relationship with Jesus Christ.”

The upcoming ribbon-cutting ceremony marks the completion of a bunkhouse designed to accommodate an additional 24 men, allowing the organization to serve up to 100 men at a time.

Restoration of Hope is currently raising $120,000 to fund construction expenses for the bunkhouse. Donations can be made at the ribbon cutting, online at restorationofhopes.com, or mailed to 1217 Hazel St,, Texarkana, TX 75501.

Restoration of Hope also offers affordable services to the community, including Christmas lights installation, lawn care, tree trimming, cleanup, trash hauling, remodeling, and more.

Proceeds from these services directly benefit the ministry. Call 903-272-1222 for information about booking their services.
