Hope for the Cities celebrated the grand opening of its new Resource Center Tuesday, June 24, marking a significant step in the organization’s mission to provide holistic support and build stronger relationships within the Wylie community.

Located inside The Cross Church Event Center at 200 N. Ballard Avenue, the Resource Center will serve as a central hub for assistance and outreach, offering everything from food distribution and financial aid to job help, educational workshops and health resources.

Jon Bailey, executive director and Hope for the Cities pastor, said the move from a temporary space at Wylie Christian Care Center to the new location represents more than just a change of address—it’s a chance to be more intentional in how the organization connects with people in need.
