We have a special event to lead off your 4th of July weekend!

       HOPE COMMUNITY SERVICES, a United Way human services assistance agency, was established in 1981 by concerned clergy and residents of the city of Markham to provide emergency relief to low income families from the communities of Markham, Harvey, Dixmoor and Phoenix: to give a helping hand to neighbors down on their luck.  To fulfill our mission we can always use the help of people of good will as volunteers and/or donors.

       As a member agency of the Greater Chicago Food Depository, our food pantry program extends supplemental nutrition for fifty to sixty households each week -- over three tons of food per month.  HOPE COMMUNITY makes emergency grants for overdue utility bills to prevent shut-offs.  HOPE COMMUNITY will help with rent/mortgage payments to stop evictions or foreclosures.  Shelter at local motels for the short-term emergency is available.  We strive to help low income home owners maintain their property.  HOPE COMMUNITY also assists with prescription medicine and transportation needs.  If we are unable to help, we always attempt to refer those seeking help to other resources.

Our Regular hours of operation are:
Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m.
