Hope for the City
What We Do

Hope for the City serves the poor by being a conduit between those who have and those who have need.  We procure corporate surplus and distribute it freely to the poor through a network of non-profit organizations that we call Community Partners.

A Community Partner is a non-profit organization committed to serving those in need through programs, service, or long-term relational care.  Each non-profit organization goes through an application to become a Hope for the City Community Partner.

We communicate to our Community Partners through e-mail.  Each week we send out an e-mail announcing what is in the warehouse for distribution.  If a Community Partner can utilize the products, they schedule an appointment and come to our warehouse with the appropriate vehicles to pick it up.  

Hope for the City distributes on a weekly basis.  We try to empty our 20,000 square foot warehouse each week, so we can begin to fill it again the following week.  We distribute a broad range of corporate surplus including food, clothing, school and office supplies, hotel and restaurant equipment, as well as medical supplies and equipment. 

Hope for the City works with an extensive national network of organizations similar to us.  We call these organizations our National Partners.  If we have an over abundance of a specific product, we give it to our National Partners who in turn give it to the poor in their states.  They also give to us their overages.  Our National Partnerships enable us to pick up and distribute product anywhere in the lower 48 states.

From a procurement standpoint, this is a benefit to national corporations who have multiple locations.  We can serve every location, branch, and distribution center of a national business with speed and efficiency.  

Our National Partners also enable us to respond quickly to national disaster areas with food, water, and resources for recovery.

Locally or internationally, we believe every city should have a Hope for the City.

We have found non-profit organizations can feel isolated due to lack of resources to meet the physical needs of their clients. Hope For The City is a conduit of food and other resources. We also provide a network for non-profits to build relationships for maximum effectiveness in the community.
