Our guest speaker was Doug Campbell https://www.linkedin.com/in/mdouglascampbell/ from the Hope Clinic https://thehopeclinic.org/ https://thehopeclinic.org/mission-vision-impact graduated from Kenyan College with a major in art history and has also lived in Scottland for 10 years (Glasgow and Edinburgh)
The Hope Clinic has two locations in Ypsilanti and Westland and has a unique mission: Hope Clinic's mission is to partner with you and make lives better through holistic care, dental care, food, and Care + Prayer in Jesus’ name. Doug did mention that they are faith-based but it's not required and they don’t care what your faith is. Their goal is to help everyone. Ex: Free meds, food, free dental, free vision, free laundry, free financial services…if you walk in and say you need help or that you/family is hungry then no questions asked they help you in any way you need or they can.
Hope Clinic had the largest pantry in Washtenaw County, Monday and Thursday nights they serve a hot meal and have a program set up where volunteers can go and cook food and serve the food.
In 2019 the Salvation Army pulled out of the Ypsilanti area siting they couldn’t continue the quality of service for both Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti so now they are just in Ann Arbor. That leaves the hope clinic to try and fill those additional needs.
2020 - The Hope Clinic will start taking on mental health and strengthening its programs to also focus on important issues pertaining to mental health.
2020 - They are also looking to partner up with more dentists to volunteer services
