Our Story
Our Chairman, John Anderson, has been dedicated to helping the homeless and impoverished in Burton for years. His efforts, alongside his family, led to the establishment of Burton Hope. Initially known as Anderson Aid, their work included providing food, legal assistance, healthcare, and outreach efforts. John’s experiences, including witnessing tragedies and dangers first-hand, spurred the formation of Burton Hope after viral social media posts caught the attention of the community.
