At Heather Hopes Inc., we believe in empowering people to achieve their goals and dreams, while also educating our community about the importance of civic engagement. We actively work to inform individuals about the voting process, including where polls are located, how to make their vote count, and the importance of using their voice in every election. Additionally, we address the critical issue of voter suppression, particularly for those who have recently been incarcerated, helping them understand their rights and how they can participate in shaping their future.

Since its inception, Heather Hopes Inc. has had the privilege of serving over 8,000 families in our community, making a significant impact on the lives of those in need. Through our initiatives, we have provided over 500 children with free shoes and ensured that more than 1,000 children received backpacks and school supplies to support their academic success. Additionally, we have engaged with over 150,000 individuals, including educating voters via phone calls and text messages, empowering them with knowledge of their rights and access to the polls. For the past 10 years, we have consistently provided valuable resources to ex-offenders, equipping them with essential job skills through our computer classes, which have played a crucial role in their successful reintegration into the workforce.
Thanks to the generous support of our donors, we have been able to provide critical services to 8,235 women, helping them take the steps toward a better future. These services include life skills classes that empower women to build new paths, transportation to drug and mental health treatment facilities, one-time utility assistance during crises, and backpacks filled with essentials for their children, including school supplies ranging from pencils to scientific calculators. Additionally, our donors have made it possible to offer field trips and activities for girls with incarcerated parents and their mentors, fostering meaningful connections and personal growth.
