Donate any amount in honor of our past Executive Director, Carole Troum, winner of our Spirit of Excellence award.

Carole Troum served as HOPE's Executive Director for 12 years. Under her leadership participation and programs, grants and contributions to HOPE grew steadily. When Carole arrived at hope in 2008, she found a small, dedicated group of volunteers, clients and staff, with a mighty spirit and a deep sense of community. HOPE and its mission, honoring the dignity and value of each of its participants, called to Carole's heart and soul and sparked a vision. What began as a temporary position quickly turned into a commitment to the organization, to its volunteers, staff and clients and a recognition of the role HOPE could play in the broader community. Carole found and secured the grants and contributions and most of all the connections that have enabled HOPE to grow and share its mission and the warmth of its community with so many.

HOPE has given Carole the opportunity to put Tikkun Olam - Repair of the World - front and center in her work life and for this she will be forever grateful.

Honor Dr. DeQuincy M. Hentz posthumously, and Shiloh Baptist Church, winner of our Commitment to Service award, with a donation of any amount.

In collaboration with HOPE, Shiloh Baptist Church created the Showers of HOPE Initiative. Since 2019, the team has traveled throughout Westchester County hosting events that provide homeless individuals with access to a personal shower, towels, toiletries, clean clothing, food, flu shots, and most recently, COVID vaccines.

As an extension of the Showers of HOPE Initiative, HOPE and Shiloh teamed up again in 2020 to create the Suds 'N' Duds Initiative offering free laundromat cards and laundry detergent to those in need.

Additionally, the Shiloh congregation has donated and served monthly meals to the HOPE soup kitchen and have donated to, and volunteered at HOPE's Backpack events.

Make a donation in Honor of Pastor Wayne Francis and Life Church, winner of our Commitment to Service award.

As part of the Showers of HOPE Initiative, Life Church lends its mobile shower unit, drivers, and set-up team for certain events. This partnership allows regular access to bathing for those experiencing homelessness which is important to the health and welfare of Westchester County residents. The mobile unit is fully equipped with 3 shower stalls allowing the team to provide up to 36 showers per event. This partnership of Life Church, Shiloh Baptist Church and HOPE Community Services helps restore dignity to our community members.
