Ruth Collins Sharp Altshuler Award Recipient Hope Restored Missions

At this year’s Hearts of Texas Luncheon, we were proud to honor Hope Restored Missions with the Ruth Collins Sharp Altshuler Award—recognizing their powerful, people-centered approach to transformation through volunteerism.

Hope Restored Missions meets individuals where they are, walking alongside them with both compassion and accountability. Through holistic case management, critical document recovery, housing navigation, employment support, and strong community partnerships, they remove the barriers that stand in the way of forward progress—creating real pathways to sustainable independence.

But what sets HRM apart is how they activate volunteers. There’s no filler work—volunteers are placed directly into meaningful roles that make an immediate impact: answering phones, cooking meals, and preparing kits for street missions.

It’s our volunteers that make a difference. They come back with there family, it’s a generational thing.

At HRM, transformation goes beyond services. It’s about restoring confidence, rebuilding trust, and reminding people that change is possible.
