Welcome

New Hope Community Services of America (NHCSA) is a not-for-profit organization within the provisions of Internal Revenue Service Code 501(c)(3){pending}; founded by Frank Tagliano and Vietnam Veteran Edward Faina on January 1, 2005. In the beginning, New Hope Community Services of America focused on the needs of terminally ill children, battered men/women, a local food bank, and its “Christmas for Kids” Program.

NHCSA’s mission is to assist people to find solutions to their problems and overcome barriers so that they can attain self-sufficiency through direct services, training, and referral to community resources.

In 2009, Frank Tagliano received a “Certificate of Appreciation” by the Mayor and City Council of Las Vegas, Nevada, for his tireless efforts, support and dedication towards the Hope Corridor Alliance.

The Corridor of Hope Project provided a countless number of homeless and stranded individuals with much needed services to enable their return to society as productive citizens. Thus, the Ambassadors of Hope Inc. was founded and Mr. Tagliano wrote the Articles of Incorporation & Bylaws for the newly formed non-profit alliance organization.

Today, NHCSA encompasses the aforementioned programs and has expanded its focus to include educational and employment training and seminars, working in partnership with social service and non-profit organizations to end homelessness and provide veterans and clients with needed services.

NHCSA wanted to honor our stellar performers men/women in uniform: veterans, armed forces, law enforcement officers, firefighters and emergency first responders.

In 2010, New Hope Community Services of America produced a long overdue tribute to honor our fallen heroes, military, veterans, law enforcement officers, EMS, and firefighters. The 3-day tribute came to light September 16-18, 2011 in Minneapolis-Saint Paul, as the “2011 Inaugural America's Finest Festival of Tribute & Honor” paid homage, tribute, and honor to all fallen heroes (killed in the Line of Duty), military, veterans, law enforcement and peace officers, firefighters, and (EMS) emergency first responders.

We thank all of the exemplary Liaisons representing each of the honoree groups for their dedication and tireless service in making the 2011 America's Finest Festival of Tribute-Honor very successful and one to remember. The Parade of Tribute-Honor hosted 10,041 participants marching to honor our America's stellar performers. In 2013, representatives from all 50 states will be selected for participation and representation in the Grand Celebration.

On April 20th, 2011, New Hope Community Services of America Inc., received a "Certificate of Partnership" from Major General Thurgood, a 2 Star General from the US Army Reserve. The Employer Partnership of the Armed Forces Program, helps veterans receive employment and become self-sufficient. Click here to view the Certificate of Partnership.

On December 29, 2011, New Hope Community Services received a letter of appreciation from St. Paul Police Chief Thomas E. Smith. New Hope Community Services of America is very proud to have received such a warm letter and was proud to have honored the St. Paul Police Department and Chief Thomas E. Smith for their exemplary dedication and service to the citizens of the City of Saint Paul and the State of Minnesota.  Click here to view this wonderful letter.
