Since 1988, HOPE has organized faith communities to build power to address root causes of poverty and injustice in Hillsborough County, FL. We are a non-partisan and nonprofit organization.

HOPE is a coalition of nearly 30 member congregations representing thousands of Hillsborough County residents. While our members differ in theology, racial and ethnic makeups, socio-economic backgrounds, and locations within the county, we are united in our shared commitment to respond to a faith call to do justice.

Unlike a direct-service organization, we do not work to fill the immediate needs of individuals; instead, HOPE is a direct-action organization that holds community leaders accountable to solve serious community problems impacting our families, friends, and neighbors.
