About Us

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

Hope for the City collects surplus food, personal care items, medical technology and supplies, and other goods from companies, healthcare facilities and farms―items that would otherwise go to waste. 

For over a decade, Hope for the City has given over $480 million in goods to local and international community partners who directly serve those in dire need.

Hope for the City's program model leverages corporate surplus to fight poverty, hunger and disease in Minnesota and around the world. Unfortunately, the need for food and basic supplies here and abroad has never been greater.Over the past two years, metro area food shelves have seen a 97% increase in usage.These difficult times call for a unique idea that makes the most of available resources. 

Our efficient program model means we're able to amplify the benefits of donated corporate surplus as well as financial gifts. Every $1 donated leverages over $33 in critical resources! Help us change the life of someone in dire need.
