We invite you to invest into the lives of children in our community by making a charitable contribution to Hope 1 Ministries in support of Hope 4 Kids 2024 Send a Kid to Camp Campaign, which will begin on May 4th. Your gift, in any amount, will help to ensure that every child has the opportunity to benefit from an engaging and impactful summer camp experience this year.

As a result of your generous donations last year, we were able to serve 120 local youth during our support of 2023 Summer Camps! All campers bring their own lunch daily, and we helped supplement with bottled water and snacks throughout the day and on many field trips. 

How You Can Give the Gift of Summer

Hope 1 Ministries, is a Nonprofit Organization dedicated to personal and educational development, is in need of food donations to support youth summer camps in Tampa Bay. We have been supporting summer camps in the Tampa Bay area for about 10 years. We provide bottled water and snacks as well as books and reading materials for the children attending summer camps throughout Tampa Bay. As you can imagine, long, summer days filled with non-stop activities, field trips and pool visits make for super hungry and thirsty kids! 

We are seeking in-kind donations of bottled water (small (8oz) or regular sized bottles) and snack food items. Examples of acceptable snacks: crackers, cheese sticks, fresh fruit or fruit cups, individual snack bags of chips and cookies, fresh veggies and ranch dip, raisins, yogurt, granola bars, etc. Donations can be dropped off or delivered to our Summer Camp location: Hope 1 Ministries, 4605 North Armenia Avenue Suite #A Tampa Florida 33604. As always, your generous contributions are greatly appreciated. It is unfortunate that some children are not able to provide snacks and breakfast for themselves.
