YHOP's Mission & "Workers"

Mission:  Fundraising for the YHOP Fund -- a dedicated, restricted fund of the Palatine Township Food Pantry. 

The Food Pantry uses the YHOP Fund to reduce cash shortages, explore expansion opportunities, and provide food without interruption for the 220+ families it serves every month.

Since its 2007 launch, YHOP has raised over $112,000.... but an ongoing problem needs ongoing effort.  To donate, click here.

Area youth -- Fremd HS, Palatine HS, Church Youth -- provide leadership / labor by hosting fundraisers, approaching local businesses, and appealing to private donors.  To donate, click here.

  

 
How Can I Help?

While driven by youth, YHOP also relies on (adult) individual and corporate gifts.  100% of proceeds go to the YHOP Fund.  Donations may qualify as tax deductible, as the Palatine Food Township Pantry is a 501(c)3 organization.  Please consider giving $100 or more.  To donate, click here.  To discuss a special YHOP donation, please contact YHOP's Director using this email:  yhop.fund@gmail.com
