Mission and programs · 2024

• Food Pantry - The Hope Center operates a food pantry where guests can expect to find a wide selection of fresh and shelf-stable items to keep their kitchens stocked, as well as herbs and veggies harvested weekly from our farm. We love to connect with pantry guests to find out how else The Hope Center can make a difference in their lives. The food pantry is open every Saturday and serves people throughout northern Illinois.

  Expenses $240,771

• HOPE Farm sprouted from a simple idea: wouldn't it be wonderful if our food pantry could offer beautifully ripe, nutritious veggies and fruit? We knew the answer, so we got to work Thanks to a committed crew of volunteers, bushels of plump tomatoes, crunchy cucumbers, leafy greens, and aromatic herbs are now being harvested weekly. Our growing, small-scale farm is built around a hydroponic greenhouse that lets us farm year-round, sunshine or snow. Outside, rows of raised beds are lush in the summer with soil-grown garden veggies and native prairie plants.

  Expenses $137,620

• Single Moms, or Thrive, a gathering place for single moms to lift each other up. On Tuesday evenings, women on similar journeys have a chance to share a meal and some candid conversation. Childcare is provided, which gives everyone time to rejuvenate while listening to a speaker, getting spiritual encouragement, or doing a craft together while sharing struggles and victories as single parents. Evenings are often filled with laughter, sometimes tears, and always inspiration to thrive! There is also a group for Spanish-speaking moms, led by a team of Spanish-speaking mentors.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.
