Hope for New York

Our annual Pitch Night event was a true celebration this year! Many joined us at W83 Ministry Center while others tuned into our livestream.

Our Operations Team is growing! As part of our Operations Team, Jenni will be overseeing all our various databases and platforms, to ensure everything runs smoothly!

For the first time since 2019, we're partnering with two new churches! One new church is Reunion Church, which has roots in one of our church partners, Renaissance Church.

The Hope Exchange is celebrating a milestone of 10 years!

We're thankful that our monthly giving community of 250+ members has been a part of our mission to see all New Yorkers flourish. What each person gives monthly is important to addressing our city's post-pandemic concerns, such as homelessness, food insecurity, mental health, the migrant crisis, and more.

Judy Ha Kim joins us as Director, Grants and Capacity Building! She'll be working closely with our affiliate partners to understand their needs and provide leadership training programs and events for them.

Dave Park is a Hope for New York volunteer who has been serving with our affiliates for years!

This year, Don't Walk By focused on one Saturday outreach and served lower Manhattan between 46th Street and Battery Park. 

Sadiqa Smith-Ford is a native New Yorker through and through, who was born and raised in our city! Sadiqa joins our team as the new Senior Manager, Special Events.

In 2021, a milestone year that celebrated 25 years of His Toy Store, we distributed $155,000 to 29 affiliate partners so they could bring holiday joy to 15,000 New Yorkers in need.

Every year, we highlight the best parts of our work. In our 2022 fiscal year (July 1, 2021 - June 30, 2022), we hit several milestones that cast a vision of hope in our city, even as we saw its needs continue to increase.
