What is Hope for the City?

Hope For The City is a privately funded, 501 (c)3 relief organization that was established to fight poverty, hunger, and disease by utilizing corporate surplus.

The Minnesota-based, non-profit organization collects overstock products from top retailers, medical companies and food distributors nationwide and donates the items to people in need in Minnesota, throughout the United States, and around the world.

Since its inception, Hope For The City has donated over $433 million in wholesale value of goods.
