📈 Race Initiative

Hope of Glory Ministries was founded in 2001 as a 501 (c)(3) Christ‐centered community outreach ministry. A large focus of our ministry is helping those in Pitt County who live at or beneath the level of poverty. It is estimated that 21.4% of Pitt County residents live beneath the poverty level ($36,000 for household of 4). Based on US Census 2019 estimates, this translates into about 39,000 people. Our Community Food Co-op Program is moving families towards financial stability by providing healthy fresh and non-perishable foods twice a month. With an estimated $375 savings each month, families are paired with mentors and set goals to redistribute the saved money towards debts, an emergency fund or savings account.

📊 Our 2024 Impact Report
