Pam Hammond, Essential Services Manager

Pam loves getting to know people and hearing their unique stories! She started as a volunteer in Emergency Assistance in 2012 as well as the Christmas store and Mobile Markets over the years and has grown to love the mission of Hope Center, its ministries, and the people it serves. She is  passionate about homeschooling, healthy cooking, loving her family, and discipling her children.  She enjoys spending time on her front porch with a good cup of coffee, her current Bible study, and a friend.

​She hopes to someday stand before her God and say, as Jesus did in John 17:4, I have glorified You on earth by completing the work You gave me to do.
