Our mission is to ensure that individuals with intellectual and developmental challenges thrive in a loving, safe, supportive community in which they live, learn, and work with purpose and dignity. Hope Village is a non-profit organization in Friendswood, Texas, founded by Bill and Lucille Williams in 1967 when they sought care for their daughter, Sally, who had been diagnosed as an infant with de
velopmental disabilities. Williams became the driving force behind the planning and building of the facility. She sought to create a place that would be a loving home for her daughter and others with similar disabilities. While Mr. and Mrs. Williams are no longer with us, the original vision and mission for Hope Village lives on and has evolved throughout the years into a place that has cared for many priceless souls while touching countless hearts along the way. There are many parts to Hope Village, in addition to the now five residential homes that reside on our 18-acre campus. The Hope Village Resale Shop, another integral part of our campus, offers unique thrift items at discounted prices such as clothing for the entire family, household items, books, toys, and more. The shop's current hours are 10 am to 4 pm Wednesday through Friday and 10 am to 3 pm on Saturday. "Like new" item donations are currently being accepted and may be dropped off during normal resale hours of operation, or within the 24-hour drop box located on the north side of the shop. For large item donations such as furniture, we do request you call us at (281) 996-7045 to schedule a drop-off appointment. All proceeds directly support Villager programming and services. Our facility is also home to an amazing day program available to participants Monday through Friday. The Foundation for Hope Village is a 501 (c)(3) organization without state or federal funding.
