Mission & History

Mission
The mission of Hope for the City is to fight poverty, hunger, and disease by utilizing corporate surplus.

History
Hope For The City was founded in 2000 because of the vision of Megan and Dennis Doyle. Where others saw corporate excess as a problem, they saw opportunity. They knew corporate surplus could have a life in the caring hands of the community-based non-profits they faithfully supported. Since its inception, Hope for the City has given more than $435 million in wholesale value of goods to organizations serving those in need, saving valuable resources from our landfills, and giving hope to people in need in our local communities and beyond.

Simply put, Hope For The City acquires society's excess production and gets it to those in great need, who would otherwise have little or no access to such goods.
