Simply put, Hope for the City acquires corporate surplus and delivers it to those in greatest need, who would otherwise have little or no access to such goods.

Mission and History

Mission
We exist to improve lives by distributing corporate surplus to organizations who serve those in need next door and around the world.

History
Hope for the City was founded in 2000 by Megan and Dennis Doyle. As with all great social entrepreneurs, they had a vision.  Where others saw corporate surplus as a problem, they saw an opportunity. They knew corporate surplus could have a life in the caring hands of the community-based non-profits they faithfully supported. Since its inception, Hope for the City has given more than $480 million in wholesale value of goods to organizations serving those in need, saving valuable resources from our landfills, and giving hope to people in need in our local communities and beyond.

Our Values
We are social entrepreneurs who serve those in need.  We value:

  • Joy of Giving
  • Preserving Dignity
  • Fostering Self Reliance
  • Spirit of Collaboration
  • Stewardship
