Hope for the hungry: Inside Clearfield’s quiet powerhouse of giving

By Stephanie Morales

On a quiet street in Clearfield, Utah, behind the doors of an unassuming building, hundreds of families receive food and hope. At the heart of it all is Dr. Ron Brown, Senior Pastor of New Hope Fellowship and founder of the Hope Center. What started in September of 2012 has now grown into a dual-floor facility, top being service and bottom being food pantry, serving more than 1,000 people monthly.
