Hope Center Leadership

The mission of The Hope Center is to provide hope through care, friendship, and encouragement to the residents of Bellwood-Antis.

Since August 2020, The Hope Center (THC) has been providing supplemental food to families in the Bellwood-Antis community. This past fiscal year, July 2023 - June 2024, THC gave away over 13,000 cases of food weighing over 100,000 pounds, prepared and delivered 3,100 soup meals, and welcomed over 70 households each month to the Food Pantry to select perishable and non-perishable food.

God has provided revenue through donations from community members, local churches and grants (PA Skill Charitable Giving, M&T Bank, Central PA Food Bank). Free and reduced cost food is provided by our partners at the Central PA Food Bank and other local distributors including Dave Taylor at The Door, Jim Brown at SFPP, American Rescue Workers, and Imler's Poultry.

God has intersected the needs of the community with the capacity of THC and the willing hearts of reliable volunteers. THC has more than 50 volunteers who collectively give over 1500 hours each month!

As we continue to walk through the doors God opens, we trust He will provide. We have this hope as an anchor for the soul (Hebrews 6:19).
