Today’s Hope is a non-profit organization helping the underserved populations in Richmond, Chesterfield, Petersburg, and the surrounding counties. Our mission is to provide a range of vital community services to those in need, regardless of their race or ethnicity. Our services include temporary housing solutions, access to a clothes closet for clothing donations, and the distribution of essential food supplies to our communities. We also assist individuals who have been denied authorization for services through insurance and collaborate with Richmond City Public Schools to offer a GED program on their campus. At Today’s Hope, we are committed to ensuring that everyone in our community has access to the resources they need for a brighter future.

Food

The food bank operated by Today's Hope is a vital component of our non-profit's mission to provide support to underserved populations in Richmond, Chesterfield, Petersburg, and surrounding counties. Our food bank acts as a lifeline for those facing food insecurity by collecting, storing, and distributing nutritious food to individuals and families in need. Through community partnerships, donations, and the dedication of our volunteers, we ensure that no one in our community goes hungry. By offering this essential service, we take significant steps towards building a brighter, more nourished future for our neighbors.

Clothing

The clothes closet at Today's Hope is a compassionate initiative aimed at helping individuals and families in our community access essential clothing items. We collect donations of gently-used clothing and make them available to those in need, ensuring that everyone has access to clean, comfortable attire. This service extends a helping hand to those facing financial constraints, empowering them to maintain their dignity and meet their clothing needs. At Today's Hope, we believe that everyone deserves access to the basics, including clothing, regardless of their circumstances.

Housing

Today's Hope offers a temporary housing program designed to provide immediate support to individuals and families experiencing housing insecurity. Our program offers a safe and secure place to stay to those who are in crisis and need shelter. We understand the importance of having a stable place to call home, and we are committed to helping individuals in their time of need. Our temporary housing services aim to bridge the gap and offer respite, empowering those we serve to regain their stability and work towards a brighter, more secure future. Donate today to help us secure housing for more individuals.
