House of Hope appreciates your
interest in conducting a food drive to help Martin
County people in need. Anyone can
hold a drive: Individuals, families, communities,
businesses, civic and faith-based organizations,
offices, social groups, schools, clubs, etc.
You can organize your drive in any fashion that works
for you!
Below and at right, you will find some useful information
and resources to help you in your effort.
Contact info Kathy Carmody,
senior program manager at House of Hope, is your primary
contact for food drives. She can be reached through the
main Stuart office: (772) 286-4673. You can call her to
get advice on conducting your drive and/or to arrange
for pick-up or drop-off of your collected food. If Kathy
is unavailable, please ask for Esther Brito, assistant
director.
Drop-off/Pick-up of collected food
House of Hope can provide pick-up of your collected
food, especially if it is a large amount and requires
the use of our truck. However, if you are able to
transport your collected food to House of Hope, it would
be greatly appreciated.
Most food is collected at the main
Stuart location: 2484 SE Bonita Street, Stuart. Please
call Kathy Carmody at (772) 286-4673 to arrange for
pick-up or drop-off of your collected food. The main
office is typically open 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday-Friday for
drop-offs, but it would be advisable to double-check. House of Hope's branch locations
also can accept drop-offs. Please check the links below
for hours of operation and please contact them for their
ability to accommodate the amount of food you may have.
