Mission Statement:

The Hope Center has been founded to provide groceries for our neighbors in need.

Our mission is to distribute groceries on the first and third Thursday of every month.
Groceries that consist of staple food items, toiletries, baby food and supplies, and pet food and supplies if necessary.

We believe that keeping families together, with their children and pets, and fed, even in the toughest of economic times, is the best way we can keep our community strong, happy, and safe.

We also provide information about other services in our community that can help families who are facing economic challenges.

It is our goal to empower our children to see that in helping your neighbors you can make the world a better place.

Location:

1271 10th Street
Monterey CA 93940

Directions: Corner of Sloat Ave & Tenth St. in Monterey.
