Food Assistance

In response to the delayed SNAP funds and government shutdown, Hope will add one more distribution day in the week (Saturdays) for the next two months of November and December.  We are also increasing the number of items we provide to each family.

Hope's doors will be open every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 9 - 10:30 AM through December 27th*.  We are located at 4001 Speedway and can access the Pantry through the 40th Street doors.  *Closed: November 22, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's
