Helping Other People Eat

H.O.P.E. (Helping Other People Eat) was founded in 1992 and is an all-volunteer organization providing hot meals twice a week to the homeless of Santa Monica. Our support for HOPE is an outgrowth of our recovery-focused mission. A large percentage of the area's homeless suffer from alcoholism and/or drug addiction. We help with their immediate needs, in order to gain trust and to assist people in their recovery from active addiction over the long term. Friends of Choices has been providing administrative services for HOPE since early 2002. A number of the residents housed in our sober living homes have volunteered with HOPE, helping others the way they were helped. H.O.P.E. is a Santa Monica All Volunteer Meal Distribution Program. H.O.P.E. provides meals and emergency gear Wed's and Thurs. 3:30 - 5 p.m. at 503 Olympic Boulevard
