How We Accomplish Our Mission |
Strengthening our communities and empowering residents through community engagement programs, educational services, economic development, healthy eating, and active living by utilizing self-help approaches and collaboration.
|
Through active civic engagement, the NHCDG promotes and supports the community by taking action, organizing, and planning together to solve community problems. We help to sustain and build healthy neighborhoods by building social capital, community engagement, organizing, assisting neighbors in getting to know each other (neighborhood associations), and finding solutions that will lessen the impact of social justice disparities. We work with small community groups, collaborate with civic groups, and work with local, state, and federal governments to provide economic development projects, such as affordable housing.

Our History
New Hope Community Development Group was organized in 2004 and is recognized as an exemption under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue. Through the Theology teaching of the late Dr. Walter M. Richmond, Sr., the organization's foundation incorporated the principles of Dr. Richmond, Sr. Those principles included community outreach and inclusive and equitable approaches that will be of benefit to the community. These fundamental teachings were applied by Reverend Walter M. Richmond, Jr., while working as the Economic Justice Officer of the NAACP throughout the state. Reverend Richmond, Jr. also used an inclusive and equitable approach to aiding communities to identify predatory lending practices. Discussion with some New Hope Missionary Baptist Church members who were of the same mind, forming the New Hope Community Development Group was decided. Founding Organizing Officers of the organization were: Marilyn Baird, Executive Director, Patricia R. Macfoy, Co-Director, Walter M. Richmond, Jr., Board Chair, Shirley M. Vanstory, Secretary, Alice Morehead, Treasurer.
