Hearts Behind the Mission: A Series

Some things touch your heart in a special way, and this is one of them.

Ms. Charlotte Pettis from Mt. Zion celebrated her BIG 60th birthday with a wish that meant so much to us. Instead of asking for birthday gifts, she wanted to bless the women and children at Hope & Love Rescue Mission.

Charlotte asked her family and friends to bring specific items to donate to our mission, and her community showed up with so much love! Family, friends, and local businesses came together to celebrate this beautiful milestone and help her birthday wish become a blessing to others.

Charlotte, we want you to know how much this means to us. The fact that you thought about our women and children on your special day truly touched our hearts. What a beautiful way to celebrate 60 years of life — by pouring love into others!

To Charlotte, her family, friends, and everyone who gave: thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You reminded us that this mission is bigger than us. It takes people who care, people who give, and people who are willing to show up for others.

This is what Hearts Behind the Mission is all about. Real people, real love, and blessings that make a difference. We are so thankful for you! 💙

When we talk about Hope & Love Rescue Mission, it’s about so much more than a building. It’s about people right here in Cleveland County who need a little help, a safe place, and someone willing to walk alongside them.

* 𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧’𝐬 𝐄𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲 𝐒𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐭𝐞𝐫: A safe place for women experiencing homelessness who need immediate shelter and support during a difficult time.

* 𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧’𝐬 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦: A six-month, Christ-centered residential program where women receive life skills training, workforce development, coaching, and mentorship to help them heal, grow, and build a brighter future.

* 𝐌𝐞𝐧’𝐬 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐇𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠: A structured, Christ-centered living environment where men can develop personal responsibility, strengthen life skills, and work toward securing permanent housing.

* 𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧’𝐬 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐇𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠: A supportive place for women to build confidence, develop independence, and prepare for the next chapter of their lives.

* 𝐌𝐞𝐧’𝐬 𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐭𝐞𝐫: Opening December 1, this seasonal shelter provides men experiencing homelessness with a warm, safe place to stay during the colder months.

Every program meets a different need, but the heart behind all of them is the same. We want people to know they are loved, they matter, and they don’t have to face difficult seasons alone.

We’re grateful to be part of this community and thankful for everyone who helps make this work possible. 💛

Our mission is about so much more than providing shelter. It’s about people, families, second chances, and making sure no one feels forgotten. 💛

Here at Hope & Love Rescue Mission, we have the privilege of walking alongside individuals and families in Cleveland County during some of the hardest seasons of their lives. Whether someone needs a safe place to stay, essential resources, support, or simply someone to remind them that they matter, we want to be there.

We believe homelessness doesn’t define a person, and someone’s current circumstances don’t have to determine their future. Behind every need is a person with a story, a family, and a future worth fighting for.

Our heart is to love people where they are, meet them with compassion, and help them take steps toward stability, healing, and independence. And above all, we want every person who walks through our doors to experience the hope and love of Jesus.

This mission is made possible by a community that cares. Every donation, every volunteer, every prayer, and every partnership helps us continue this work. We are so grateful for everyone who believes in what we’re doing and chooses to be part of it.

This is Hope & Love Rescue Mission. This is what it means to love people well. 💛

💙 A BIG THANK YOU TO DUKE ENERGY! 💙

We are so grateful to Tammy and Dax from Duke Energy in Kings Mountain for their generous donation to Hope & Love Rescue Mission!

From hygiene bags for our residents to laundry detergent, deodorant, toiletries, floor cleaners, and other everyday essentials, these items make a real difference in the lives of the people we serve.

It’s through the kindness and generosity of community partners like Duke Energy that we can continue showing love, meeting needs, and reminding our residents that they are not forgotten.

Tammy and Dax, thank you for being a blessing to our mission and our residents! 💛

🎥 HOPE & LOVE LIVE — REWIND 💙💛

When I asked this mother about the greatest challenges of raising her children while living at Hope & Love Rescue Mission, her first answer was immediate and practical: “Income. Finances.”

But then she went deeper.

“Teaching DJ how to be a man.”

That answer stayed with me.

She's raising her children in a shelter surrounded primarily by women, doing her best to help her son understand what healthy manhood looks like. And like so many parents facing difficult circumstances, she sometimes wonders if she's getting it right.

Then she shared a moment from church when her son walked to the altar, and she heard something her heart desperately needed:

“You're doing something right.”

She admitted that she'd felt like a failure as a mother for a long time.

What a powerful reminder that homelessness isn't just about finances, housing, or the next meal. It's about mothers and fathers who want the very best for their children, even when life looks nothing like they hoped it would.

Sometimes hope looks like a little boy walking to an altar—and a mother realizing she hasn't failed him.

❤️ There's no wrong time for a fresh start.

🎥 HOPE & LOVE LIVE — REWIND ⏪

On October 8, in anticipation of World Homeless Day, we spent 12 hours sharing stories, having conversations, and shining a light on homelessness right here in Cleveland County.

Now we're rewinding to share some of the meaningful moments from that day in short, 1–3 minute clips.

In this edition, hear from Adjoa Boateng, Resident Supervisor at Hope & Love Rescue Mission, as she shares her perspective on the work we do and the people we serve.

💙💛 Because every story matters, and every person deserves hope and love.

We are so very blessed, “Trail Life” Troop #2314 had an anonymous donor purchase 10 boxes of Krispy Kreme donuts and had them delivered to the mission. Thank you for your thoughtful donation.

What a wonderful night of Hope & Love! 💙💛

Last night, we gathered for our Love Never Fails Gala, and what a joy it was to spend the evening at First Baptist Church Kings Mountain surrounded by community partners, faithful supporters, and friends who have come to feel much more like family.

We celebrated stories of hope, the power of love, and the remarkable people who have helped make this ministry what it is today. We also had the privilege of recognizing some very special partners whose service has made a lasting difference.

🏆 Trailblazer Award — Dr. Jess Powell

Presented by Pastor Joey Hamrick, former Board Chair and current pastor of Carpenter's Grove Baptist Church, in recognition of Dr. Powell's steadfast leadership and perseverance through some of the mission's most challenging seasons.

🏆 Powerful Partner Award — Delta Sigma Theta Sorority

Recognizing their faithful partnership, generosity, and the love they have demonstrated to the women and children we serve.

🏆 Hope Builder Award — Stephen Williams

Honoring his dedication to helping our residents build the skills, confidence, and opportunities needed for a brighter future, bringing the power of his voice and passion, NCWorks, and Cleveland Community College to play right inside our doors!

More than anything, last night reminded us that Hope & Love isn't something we accomplish alone. It's something we become together.

To everyone who attended, volunteered, sponsored, gave, prayed, or simply stood alongside us—thank you. You are part of this story, and we are grateful beyond words.

There's no wrong time for a fresh start. And there's nothing quite like a community that makes those fresh starts possible.
