Welcome to Our Lady of Good Hope Catholic Church, located in the heart of Hope, Hempstead County, Arkansas! Here at Our Lady of Good Hope, we are dedicated to serving the community and empowering individuals and families in need through our Food Distribution Center.
Our Lady of Good Hope Catholic Church has been a pillar of hope and compassion in this region for over 50 years. Established in 1968, our church has been nurturing the spiritual growth of its members and extending a helping hand to those facing challenging circumstances. The Food Distribution Center is one of the many initiatives we have taken to combat food insecurity and support the well-being of our community members.
Food insecurity remains a pressing issue in many parts of our country, and Hempstead County is not exempt from this struggle. Our Lady of Good Hope recognized the need to address this issue head-on, and in 2007, we established the Food Distribution Center with the aim of providing access to nutritional food to those who are struggling to meet their basic needs.
The Food Distribution Center operates on the premise of ensuring food availability, accessibility, and affordability to all those who seek assistance. Our dedicated team of volunteers works tirelessly to collect, store, and distribute food products to families and individuals in need. We collaborate with local farmers, businesses, and food banks to procure a diverse range of fresh produce, canned goods, dairy products, and other essential items.
Beyond the tangible support we offer, Our Lady of Good Hope Catholic Church understands that providing assistance is more than just giving out food. We advocate for holistic well-being and strive to foster an environment of compassion, warmth, and dignity for every individual who walks through our doors. Our volunteers not only distribute food but also take the time to listen, offer encouragement, and provide referrals to other necessary resources, such as healthcare services, employment opportunities, and educational programs.
We firmly believe that no one should have to face the debilitating struggle of hunger alone. Our Lady of Good Hope Catholic Church is committed to instilling hope and empowering individuals and families to rise above their circumstances. Through the Food Distribution Center, we aspire to create a nurturing community where everyone has access to nutritious meals and the support they need to pursue a brighter future.
In addition to our food distribution services, Our Lady of Good Hope Catholic Church also hosts various community events, such as health fairs, holiday meals, and educational workshops. These events not only serve as opportunities for people to come together and forge connections but also provide valuable resources and information to promote personal growth, self-sufficiency, and empowerment.

Together, let us build a stronger, more resilient community where hope and sustenance are readily accessible to all.
