Our Story

The images shows a wall in the shopping area of the Hope Center Food and Resource Center with a shelf of pantry-stable milk against the wall. The wall has a butterfly on it and text that reads "She plants a seed with hope."

The Hope Center was founded in 2001 as Families Helping Families, Inc. as a 501(c)3 non-profit. Founded with the purpose of working to eliminate hunger in Northwest Oklahoma, the Hope Center is the largest food bank in the region. Currently, it serves at risk families in 17 different communities within 7 different counties in NW Oklahoma. 

 

The Day Center is a daytime homeless shelter located inside the Hope Center. It was added with the purpose of providing a safe place for those in need to get out of the elements, tend to daily needs, and find assistance with resources and goal planning. Here, we offer hope and dignity for all.
