HOW YOU CAN HELP
Ongoing funding from donors like you make these projects possible. We are a 501c 3 non-profit and able to receive tax deductible corporate donations.
Prefer PayPal?
We pay BIPOC teenagers $14.50/hr to assist us with community-based projects and mentor younger kids. We believe giving youth skills and seeds will provide them with much more than a meal.
Your PayPal donations will allow us to administer the following youth projects:
• The Hope Youth Center (9/21/20 - present)
• Floral art installations "Hope Beyond the Rubble" (7/4/20 - present)
• Free Farmer's Market with produce from local organic farmers (7/11/20 launch)
• Youth Garden at Lake & George Floyd Ave (7/24/20 -present)
• Cupcakes with "HOPE" on them delivered to encampments along with flowers (7/31/20 launch)
• BIPOC photo class series taught by New York Times photographer Tim Gruber, entitled "Capturing HOPE" featuring photos taken by BIPOC Youth (8/6/20 launch)
• Exclusive visit to a farm for a cooking class with Chef Mateo, featured in the New York Times, "to promote diversity and teach children about food" (field trip on 8/10/20)
