Why We Run

Be the Light 5K is hosted by Hope Network of Rutherford County - check out their Mission Statement and Goals. This is why we run.
Organizational Mission:

Hope Network exists to connect broken people to the love of Christ through a community of support by offering free resources and services that address immediate and long-term needs.

 

Programs Supported By Your Contributions:

·         Transitional housing: We provide transitional housing for women in Rutherford County. Our homes are intended to be used for 3-6 months while women can benefit from our other services including assistance with securing employment, transportation, counseling services and financial education. Participants must maintain sobriety and participate in program activities and goal setting.

 

·         Financial education and budgeting: Hope Network staff and volunteers assist with obtaining documents needed to start work, like ID and social security cards. We will also assist with setting up savings goals for housing and utilities deposits as well as provide daily household budgeting education.
 

·        Support: Hope Network partners with local ministries to provide counseling services. While we are not a drug detox or treatment center, we do provide resources for those who may need it and can connect participants with recovery classes. We also assist with transportation to appointments and meetings.
