HOPE Alliance of Missouri is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) company dedicated to helping those in Phelps County, MO and the surrounding areas who face obstacles due to the lack of financial resources.

WHAT DOES THE FRIDAY BACKPACK PROGRAM DO:

• HOPE Alliance of Missouri is a not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) company.
• We strive to equalize the playing field for underprivileged children through our Friday Backpack Program.
• Another aim is to help women who are trying to get back on their feet, by offering a Job Skills Workshop.
• In helping emancipated teenagers, we provide hygiene kits and other necessities for them at no cost.
• The Friday Backpack Program provides local school children with bags filled with kid-friendly, nutritious food. The food is packed in non-descript bags and given to the children every Friday so that they have food to eat over the weekend.
• Studies have shown that children in food insecure homes achieve less at school than their better fed counterparts.
• This is a confidential program.
