Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these.

The Joliet Hope Center is not a food bank or food pantry but a private non-profit 501(c)(3) community assistance program allowing people both working and not working to obtain food and household items that have been greatly discounted. It offers a long-term self sufficiency solution to individuals and families struggling to fulfill their basic needs.

The Joliet Hope Center accepts membership applications with a photo I.D. and a $5.00 annual membership fee at 511 Oak Leaf Ct, Unit A, Joliet, IL 60436 (the warehouse behind the post office on McDonough - east of Hammes).
