HOPE serves families and individuals, including the homeless, in Anne Arundel County, Baltimore City and the Appalachian region who do not have the resources to provide for their own needs. Through the caring actions of its volunteers and donors, HOPE provides opportunity for the less fortunate to work toward joining or rejoining society in the way that many of us take for granted. HOPE is somewhat unique in that it was founded not to duplicate the efforts of other charitable organizations but to supplement their work by helping them obtain the resources needed to help their clientele. As a result, HOPE seeks to improve our community by providing support directly to people in need and also indirectly by distributing resources to other compatible charitable organizations. Good condition items, unopened or unused gifts, tools, kitchen items, pictures, office supplies, or any item that could be sold. Visit the Hope For All website for more information on current needs and volunteer opportunities http://www.hopeforall.us/#
