Ready to start your food drive?
Over the summer, our neighbors visit Hopelink’s no-cost Food Markets to shop for free, nutritious foods for their families. None of this would be possible without a community that cares. With hunger on the rise across our region, your support can make a tremendous difference for children and families experiencing food insecurity.

Hopelink’s Food Assistance program keeps a list of our current most-needed items on our Amazon Wish List. There, you can buy food and household items to be shipped directly to our Market. Please note that Hopelink doesn’t receive the donor’s name and contact information from Amazon for items purchased via the Wish List.
Hopelink is here to support your drive!
