Gathering Hope House
You Belong Here
Our vision is that one day, all people managing mental illness will be respected, valued, and connected to their community.
Gathering Hope House is a community-based mental health recovery center run by and for people living with mental illness. We provide a safe, welcoming space where adults can build structure, relationships, and purpose.
We’re not a clinic or a shelter. We’re a Clubhouse, a place where people come together to work side by side, develop life skills, explore goals, and support one another in recovery. Members help run every part of our day: preparing meals, greeting visitors, coordinating activities, keeping the space organized, and more. Everyone has something to contribute.
Our programs are free and open to Lorain County residents aged 18 and older who are managing a mental health condition.
We offer:
We’re located on the border of Lorain and Sheffield and operate under the Clubhouse International model, a proven approach used in more than 30 countries to help people reclaim their lives after mental illness.
Gathering Hope House is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization. Donations help us provide meals, transportation, supplies, and opportunities that make daily life better for our members.
