The Center of Hope Ministry serves Manhattan's homeless population as a warming shelter, providing dignity and safety during the harshest winter months. This volunteer-run organization now offers nightly cots, meals, and life-changing support to up to 30 guests.
• 100% volunteer-operated with working board members covering overnight shifts
• Recently moved from Vineyard Church to First Congregational Church downtown for better accessibility
• Remained open 24/7 during a severe winter storm despite volunteer shortages
• Community partnerships include Dara's providing breakfast sandwiches, support from Chick-fil-A, and Fort Riley
• Helped a guest named Logan recover from cardiac arrest, who has since been accepted to K-State's anthropology program
• Shelter now serves families with children, requiring more resources and space
• The current goal is to raise funds to hire a part-time overnight facilitator

The GMCF Community Hour here onNewsRadio KMAN, segment number
two on this Monday, and we'regoing to be visiting with Angela
(00:23):
Stoutenberg, who is the VP andDirector of Operations and the
Lifeblood of Center of HopeMinistry.
I don't know about lifeblood, oh, okay, well maybe that's a
little bit of a stretch, but youdefinitely bring a lot of charm
and excitement to what you'redoing there at Center of Hope
(00:43):
Ministry.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
There's a lot of exciting things about it, so I
definitely feel like that'sprobably how I feel.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Yeah, yeah.
Well, let's kind of give us anidea of what Center of Hope
Ministry does.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Well, center of Hope Ministry is a ministry that
focuses on our homelesspopulation.
A ministry that focuses on ourhomeless population, more so
during the wintertime.
Obviously, we focus on thewintertime because we are a
warming shelter for the homelessnot just the homeless, but
anybody that just needs a warmplace to sleep at night.
So even if your heat has goneout in your trailer or your home
(01:22):
, sometimes it gets colderinside than it is outside if you
don't have that heat provided.
So we're a place that peoplecan come and stay warm.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
And this is not anything that just happens in a
very clandestine way.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
No, there's a lot of work that goes behind it.
A lot of work that goes behindit, a lot of collaborating, a
lot of collaborating.
Which is great that we have thecommunity involved in this,
(02:01):
that it's spaces at differentchurches, so we've collaborated
with churches and then also withthe community in itself having
volunteers, soldiers on FortRiley.
Obviously with GMCF, becausewe're under GMCF.
So a lot of differentorganizations Chick-fil-A
supports us, the Foundation Gymsupports us A lot of different
(02:26):
entities in the community arethere for us.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
You had a pretty good match day, didn't you?
Speaker 2 (02:31):
We had an amazing match day.
I would definitely have to say.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Because you're 100% funded by donations.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Yes, we are.
So because of that, and becausewe're a fairly new organization
, only a few years old, everydollar, every penny counts for
us, because we have started outwith just a little bit.
I mean, starting in 2024, wehad $40 in our bank account.
(03:06):
Whoa, we had $40 in our bankaccount.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Sounds like you're a radio person.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
And we far exceeded that to get us through the year.
Of course, volunteers were veryhelpful.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
You don't have any paid staff, do you?
Speaker 2 (03:25):
We do not.
Every single member on ourboard is a working board member,
meaning that we're not justthere making votes, but we
actually are inside the trenchesdoing the work as well.
Me, as director of operations,I'm basically going in there and
(03:48):
covering down whenever we don'thave any volunteers, which is
going to be through thedifficult hours of midnight till
7am when we close, sometimes3amm till 7 am when we close,
and sometimes just on certainweekdays where a lot of people
(04:08):
are working and they just can'tgive up that much time.
Jason Stauenberg, who is alsomy husband, he is our overnight
facilitating director, so hereally manages those volunteers.
He manages the volunteers,makes sure that they're coming
through through timeframes, hemakes sure that there's backup
(04:30):
for that and whatnot.
And because he's an active dutysoldier, sometimes he's not able
to be there.
Sometimes he's able to be there, usually me and him.
We split the hours between usand then me.
More so, on the operation side,I'm making sure for people that
are sleeping there, our guests,that things are running
(04:52):
smoothly inside there.
We give them snacks in themorning, we give them coffee
Dara's has sponsored us and theygive us breakfast sandwiches on
the days that certain churchesdon't provide breakfasts we also
have.
This year was our first yearthat we were able to have cots
with our sleeping bags andpillows, which gives them a lot
(05:14):
of dignity, you know, not havingto worry about sleeping on the
floor.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
A little bit more comfortable too, I would imagine
.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Yes, yes, and having Jeremy on this year has been
huge for us being communityrelations.
He's been out there being ableto spread the word more about us
, and that's part of the reasonwe were able to get a lot more
funding, because we had morevisibility, and, of course, we
also had more visibility becauseof the winter storm.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Absolutely, and we'll talk about that here just a
little bit.
But you know you had talkedabout churches.
You had started with thebasement at the Vineyard Church
that's right On Casement Road,yes, and then this year we were
able to see you move to theFirst Congregational.
Church which is closer todowntown, closer to the people
that are in the need, which I'msure was a tremendous
(06:05):
convenience for them.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
So good, so convenient.
We're very thankful and we knowthat that was just the Lord
making sure that was in hand forthis crazy winter for them to
be able to have quick access tous, because it was a significant
, monumental moment of a winter.
(06:27):
We haven't seen in a very, verylong time.
What was hard about beforebeing over at the vineyard?
We are very thankful for thembecause they were the only place
that was willing to open theirdoors for us.
That first was that we borroweda little bus from the Morning
Star and we would go to thecommon table dinner.
(06:50):
We would go there when thedinner would end, sit there,
wait for people to jump on thebus and then drive them over to
the location because we were sofar away.
Now, if they didn't make thebus, they had to make the
decision Am I going to stick itout where I'm at for the night
(07:10):
or am I going to trek it throughthe cold and the snow all the
way down to Casement Road?
What is the decision is thebest decision for me to make,
and I can't imagine sitting inthat situation trying to figure
out what direction they're goingto go.
And I'm sure you know last yearwe had lost somebody that stuck
(07:34):
it out in the night, and that'ssomething we did not want to
see.
This year, jeremy Harmon wasable to just go out there and
make sure that we had a spotdowntown, and working with First
Congregational Church and themopening their doors to us was
(07:56):
huge for us.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Absolutely.
What were some of the biggestchallenges that you faced
earlier this year?
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Oh well, we faced many challenges every year.
This year more so it's going tobe.
It was the volunteers trying toget the volunteers in hand,
because us, being a neworganization, not a lot of
people knew about usorganization.
(08:28):
Not a lot of people knew aboutus, unfortunately, but
fortunately, because of thestorm, we did have more
visibility and people realized,wow, where are these people
going?
And they found out, oh mygoodness, through group me chats
, group text messages throughFacebook group me chats, group
text messages through Facebook,through Instagram, through word
of mouth.
Because of the storm, peoplewere sharing hey, center of Hope
(08:50):
needs volunteers, they needvolunteers.
They have up to 30 people thatstay in that shelter.
And because of that day, a lotof people were missing, because
they didn't know that we weregoing to be open, because
typically we only run overnightfor somewhere there to sleep.
Of course, first Congregationalsaid you can be open the whole
(09:13):
winter storm, and so we were.
But because it was such a lastminute plan, because nothing was
planned ahead of time with thecity and we didn't know that
nothing was going to be covereddown, when we realized nothing
was going to be covered down, wesaid, okay, we're going to step
in try and get this covereddown.
It took us about 45 minutes toalmost an hour to finally get
(09:36):
everything up and going and openfor that moment.
So from there on, we slowlystarted getting more and more
volunteers.
Unfortunately, because myhusband is active duty in the
military, he was gone for abouta month and a half and, like I
said, usually me and him splitthe duty of staying overnight at
(09:56):
the shelter and we have a childat home as well, so when he was
gone, if I didn't have anyvolunteers, it was just me
myself and I.
So there would be a few days Iwould go without sleep.
But this year's goal was to beopen every single night for them
(10:16):
, especially on the cold daysand I'm sure you remember years
before it was 36 degrees orbelow we would be open because
every single member on the boardalso works a job.
Like I said, we're workingboard members, so on top of jobs
, this is what we contribute aswell is taking care of this
(10:38):
ministry, and for me, spent alot of time praying it about
this year and the Lord said ajob's not important, this is
what's important.
Let's make sure the doors areopen every single day.
So it was worth it.
It definitely was worth it.
There was a lot of liveschanged this year.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
For those of us that were at the CFAs, the Center for
Hope Ministry received awonderful recognition for the
work that you had done duringthat time frame.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Surprised us Very, very deserving.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
But you also had a specific story that you were
able to tell and we don't have awhole lot of time, but if you
can give us just a a quicksynopsis of that story, because
it's really heartwarming- itreally is, and there's so many
of them, but this one, obviouslyGod wanted to highlight that
night One of our guests namedLogan.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
He had a contract job with the hotel and he was there
serving that night and when Iwalked in he was the first
person that I saw Logan.
And Logan has an amazing storywith us.
Basically, he came to us thenight of the winter storm and he
had actually stopped breathing,heart stopped beating, and that
(11:57):
night emergency was not runningaround town because the snow
was too much and cars werecrashing and it was not good for
them either.
But you know, god made a wayfor EMS to make their way over
to us.
They did some hard sternum rubson him, brought him back to
(12:19):
life for us and ever since thenhe was staying at the shelter
with us and he is a very shygentleman, he doesn't speak much
, but he slowly started to openup in the middle of the night
and speak with us, talk aboutgoals.
You know he never had anythinglike that in mind before.
(12:41):
So eventually, working with BeAble and us because we're pretty
much partners working with thesame people he was able to apply
to K-State and he has beenaccepted to the anthropology
department and very recently Iwas able to help him get a
(13:02):
full-time job.
Now, over at the Dragon Buffetwith the Fang family.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
You got a pretty special dude there.
Amazing, there were a number oftears in the audience when we
shared that story.
It shows the impact when youcan save lives in that manner.
It really gives you much morerelevance.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
It saved his life and his life was changed because of
it.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
He had a new perspective on life, that
there's things that I can dowith my life you know, and we
kind of threw this togetherpretty quickly to get him up on
the stage to share his story,and he was just right there, I'm
like going.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
hey, we got to get him up on the stage to share his
story, and he was just rightthere I'm like going hey, we got
to get you up here, dude, soquickly.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
What can we do to help?
Speaker 2 (13:49):
One way to help, as we spoke about before, is we are
100% running off of donationsand this year's goal is to be
able to hire an overnightfacilitator.
Goal is to be able to hire anovernight facilitator so we have
them at least somebodypart-time, so that we're not
completely relying on volunteers.
(14:09):
Now.
Our volunteers love ourorganization and they love
interacting with everybodystaying at the shelter, but we
also don't want to be exhaustedas board members.
We want to continue to growthis ministry, so we're trying
to hire someone right now.
(14:30):
So fundraising and gettingthose donations is going to be
huge to us.
You can find us on Facebook anddonate to us there.
You can also go to our website,which is going to be the Center
of Hope Ministry, mhkcom.
(14:50):
You can also go to GMCF'swebsite and find us there and
donate there as well.
So those things are big helpsto us.
We also are growing and growingand more and more people are
finding out about us.
So more and more people aresleeping with us, including
families.
(15:10):
We saw families and childrencome stay with us this year.
So having enough cots, havingenough space for everybody, is
huge for us.
So the donations are huge forus.

Intentionally Disturbing
Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
