Our Story
FaithNHope Neighbors was born from personal experience and a deep calling to serve. Our founders, Sam and his family, have been touched by the struggles that families face, and this has shaped their hearts for service.
Personal Inspiration: Sam's father grew up in poverty after his father deserted the family, leaving eight children with a mother who became mentally ill. The children were scattered, facing hunger, neglect, and the deep wounds that come from feeling "less than." This experience instilled in Sam a fierce compassion for children and families facing hardship.
Sam's mother navigated single parenthood, and family members have walked through divorce and its challenges. These experiences created a deep understanding of how difficult it can be to provide stability when you're carrying the weight alone.
Global Perspective: From 1998-2000, Sam served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Honduras, one of the world's poorest countries. Living alongside families in extreme poverty, he learned to love people facing unimaginable challenges and gained a profound appreciation for basic needs that many of us take for granted.
