We show up for our neighbours
Since 2012 we've helped families through floods, hunger and hard times.
Started at one kitchen table
Hopewell began in 2012 when a few neighbours started cooking extra dinners for families affected by a local plant closure. Within a year, that kitchen table had become a community kitchen.
Today we run food, shelter, education and health programs across the region, but the idea is the same: people helping the people next door.
