Hope Center Soft Opening Next Month

We are excited to announce the soft reopening of the Hope Center happening in early August 2023.  Located now at 243 Sears Street at Hope House, the Hope Center is opening its doors to resume some of its programming, continuing in the 20+ years of service to our Broadway Fillmore community and Western New York. 

Our clothing boutique and personal essentials pantry will be opening on Monday, August 7, 2023 in the lower level of Hope House. Entry to the building is on the south side of the building, with walking and driving access to the parking lot from either Sears Street or Playter Street. Enclosed is a flyer to share with your networks and clients as well as hours below.

Give716

We are grateful and excited to have taken part in this year’s Give716 campaign. Raising over $5,000 to support our Hope Center and homeless outreach teams this year, donations help ensure that our clothing boutique, essentials pantry and outreach team have what they need to operate each day.

The Buffalo Bills and Buffalo Sabres Foundations held this 36-hour online campaign again as an opportunity to support organizations like ours and raised $1,116,525 for our Western New York community.
