MEET OUR TEAM LEADERS

HOPE’s dedicated employees genuinely care about helping our clients wherever they see a need. From food, to clothing, from housing to jobs, from books to toys, from haircuts to flu shots. It takes tireless commitment and a warm heart, and the support of one of the largest volunteer teams in New York.
