Be Be Part of the Heart of HOPE

Fill a Backpack!
HOPE's "Fill a Backpack" Program provides:

Grade appropriate school supplies and a gift card so each student we serve has an opportunity to be prepared from the first day of school.
Average parent's spending per student is $270
Other support includes
- Aftercare Scholarships
- Nutritious Afterschool Snacks
- A Big Head Start for Children

During the summer months, pantries see donations drop dramatically, hunger does not have a season
Hunger is a daily occurrence for many children, families and seniors
Children receiving free meals during school may need food support during the summer
Seniors may have to decide whether to buy food or medications
With a full pantry, HOPE can provide pantry items, produce, personal hygiene products and household products
