​The Hope Project of WNY, Inc. was created as a resource for struggling families. Often identified as 'the working poor', many families find it difficult to make ends meet regardless of employment. In addition we assist individuals who have lost their job to no fault of their own, disabled individuals, households with special needs members, victims of domestic violence in transition and of course, without reservation, our military families and veterans. Individuals and families may request assistance due to a sudden or unexpected tragedy, such as a house fire or serious medical diagnosis.
