Due to decreased donations over the past several years and a greater number using Haven of Hope"s services, we encourage you to partner with us by reaching out to those in need. This can be done in many ways, but most effectively through your financial donations. These contributions will assist us in keeping the agency open, purchasing food for distribution, and increasing client services. 

As an agency, we believe in financial transparency to show where and how we spend our funding. Our expenses are kept at a minimum with one full time employee/staff member plus a host of volunteers who are committed to our vision. We ask you to partner with us as we work together to eliminate hunger, homelessness, and poverty in Central Florida. 

Please consider making an on-line donation or mailing a check: as a 501(c)3 organization, your donation is tax deductable. We so appreciate you choosing to join us to help stamp out poverty in the Central Florida area.

If you are an AETNA or Disney Employee and make a donation to the Haven of Hope Ministries, the amount will be eligable to be matched by your employer. A $25.00 donation can turn to $50.00.  Please speak to us about how this works. 

Through the expansion of our outreach and the growing needs in the community, we need donations.The following are examples of how you can help:

Food to be distributed: Encourage your children to have a neighborhood food drive. This will be a great teaching tool as well as assisting those in the community that live with hunger daily. If you have extra food in your pantry or extra food in your garden you can not use, please consider donating these items.

AmpleHarvest: As members of "Ample Harvest", we search out local gardeners and individuals with fresh fruit and vegetables who will donate their extra produce.   

Personal Hygiene Products: Shampoo, soap, toothpaste, and razors are essential to maintaining one's dignity as a human being. The Dollar Store sells a large selection of these essential items for $1 each. Spending $5 at The Dollar Store can buy a family shampoo, toothpaste, soap, a brush, and deoderant. 

Clean Bedding: Many homeless families live in their cars, under bridges, or in the open air with no bedding. Please consider donating blankets, sheets, small carpets and other items that may assist these families. If you have any camping items such as tents, tarps, and other items please consider donating them to a family in need. 

Please Note:

We will not accept used toys and stuffed animals because they cannot be sanitized. However, we will be happy to accept any new toy or stuffed animal that is packaged.
