HOPE Center of Edmond was organized in April, 1984 to meet a community need for a central agency to provide social services. The Center was developed by the Edmond Ministerial Alliance, an inter-denominational council of churches, with volunteers and a grant from the Edmond Women’s Club.

The purpose of HOPE Center is to meet the basic needs of members of the Edmond community by providing food, clothing, household items and financial assistance for rent and utilities. In 2008, HOPE Center provided assistance to more than 18,000 people.  This included rent, food, prescriptions, transportation, utility payments, clothing and household items. 

Specifically, HOPE assisted more than 4900 clients with utility and rent payments, 9196 individuals with food.  Our prenatal clinic saw 61 healthy babies born and the WIC clinic provided vital nutritional counseling and education to more than 3800 women, infants and children.
