The Mission of Hope provides food, clothing, hygiene items, and new toys to over 16,000 children and family members in rural Appalachia where available jobs are very few and the needs are many. Central Baptist Bearden sponsors two Mission of Hope schools in Leslie County, KY. They are Mountain View (formerly Hyden) Elementary and Hayes Lewis Elementary.
