They operate on donations only.” </p> <p>On its Facebook page, which the facility can manage, Faith Hope Friends as a whole received 4.9 out of five stars.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a></small> Of the 157 reviews, 147 were five out of five star reviews.
