Core

Vision

To create a community in which all people in need encounter unlimited hope (Romans 15:13).


Mission: 

To bring HOPE through compassion.

 

Values:

We are guided by our core values of hope, compassion, commitment, love, excellence, service, integrity and Christlikeness.


Statement of Faith:

Hope Unlimited believes the Holy Bible to be the verbally inspired Word of God, the final authority for faith and life, without error in the original writing, infallible and God breathed – That the creation of humankind was by the direct act of God – That our Lord  Jesus Christ was born to a virgin and that He came into the world fully man and fully God - That Jesus, the only Son of God, in order to pay a great debt, took upon Himself the sins of men and women by the shedding of His own blood on the cross - That He defeated death as proven by the resurrection of His body - That He has the power to save us from our sin, and that through the Holy Spirit, we are made new - That the gift of everlasting life is free and only by the grace of God.  


Our work is accomplished by practically meeting the needs represented in our communities. Through Northwest Incident Support (NWIS), we partner with first responders during crisis situations and provide resources for families during difficult circumstances. Through our Anti-Human Trafficking Initiative (AHTI), we promote awareness, education, and prevention of modern-day slavery through teaching, training, and outreach. 

OUr History

In 1998, Ralph and LeAnn Fry, along with six friends, formed Hope Unlimited with the purpose of helping people in need of comfort, encouragement, and hope. Their first project was to come alongside couples who were needing to replenish the vitality in their relationships and marriages.


Soon after moving to North Snohomish County, Ralph and LeAnn felt a need to actively support their community by putting Ralph's training as a fire and police chaplain to immediate use. In 2004, the leadership board of Hope Unlimited responded to the need for an emergency response chaplaincy. In 2005, Stanwood Camano Incident Support (SCIS) was established. Today, it has grown to include many area communities and is now known as Northwest Incident Support (NWIS).


From 2014-2018, the mission of Hope Unlimited expanded to reach the growing demographic of single-parent families. A new outreach, Single Family Life, became a reality. Dozens of parents received encouragement and training to ensure a healthy family dynamic.


In 2018, Hope Unlimited answered the call to help bring awareness and education for the prevention of human trafficking and modern-day slavery. Today, the Anti-Human Trafficking Initiative partners with schools, first responder agencies, and community groups to help keep our kids and teens safe.
