About Power of HOPE Community Organization

Power of HOPE Community Organization became a not-for-profit in 2011 and a charity in 2014, but it all began back in 2005 with Hurricane Katrina. When Penny, our Founder heard about the desperate need for the bare essentials by families who had lost, not only their homes, but all their possessions, she went into action by collecting items she could send to the devastated families of New Orleans.

In 2012, Power of HOPE expanded into the Woodstock area when Karen Geerts joined the Board of Directors. Find out how you can help families in need in the Woodstock area. (link to Woodstock page)

In 2016, Power of HOPE expanded once again into the London area with Karen Green joining the team. Find out how you can help families in need in the London area. (link to London page)

All money raised and donations received in each of these areas stay in the community.
