We hope that you will support St. HOPE on the Big Day of Giving - early giving is open now through Thursday, May 7. Over the past 30 years, St. HOPE has played a major role in improving the quality of life in Oak Park by expanding educational opportunities, supporting families, and driving economic development. Our efforts have helped attract and create 20 businesses, generate nearly 300 jobs, and bring more than $43 million in economic and real estate development investments to the community. 

We also host a variety of free community building events each year including Let’s Read Oak Park, Sunday Movie Matinees, and  our annual Juneteenth Block Party and Christmas in Oak Park events. Our Oak Park Speaker Series features African American leaders and authors who are nationally recognized for making a difference in the areas of education, politics and economics and the annual Oak Park Black Film Festival  is a celebration of African-American stories and history through cinema.

Your donation helps sustain these important programs which strengthen neighborhood revitalization, build community connections, and increase access for residents throughout the region. Let’s make a lasting impact together! Make a donation today!
