Hope Emergency Program will begin our Christmas Barn sign-ups for the 2024 holiday season beginning on Wednesdays, October 16th-November 20th from 8:30 am-1 pm. Please understand that these appointment time slots for shopping in our Barn are first come first serve.

*JFS determination letter (call your county JFS office to get a copy of this if you dont have a current one)
*2024 report card or interim report from the child’s school or proof the child is enrolled in school for 2024 (call your schools secretary or school board office for this. If homeschooling the Board of Education will still provide you with this paperwork).

PLEASE…Take note that it is extremely hard to download anything or get reception once you are at Hope. If you are showing us proof of anything on your phone, please have the App open before coming to Hope.
If you are signing up a family under PROXY status, you must have the information above for that family, PLUS the following:
*A video from the head of household of the family you are signing up as PROXY status stating you can sign up for them AND
*A screenshot or copy of their ID.
UNACCEPTABLE ITEMS
The following are items we will NOT take as proof of household members
*Handwritten mail of any kind
*Social Security cards
*Medical cards (unless as described above). No paper or laminated copy will be allowed
*Birth certificates
Lastly, we would like families to know that we ask for these items in order for this to be fair and an equal opportunity for those with need in the communities that we serve. Please call with questions at 937-364-1055 and ask for Amanda.
Due to the amount of time it takes to sign families up, we ask that you bring ALL paperwork with you to Hope. No family will be signed up without the proper information on hand. It is simply too hard to keep track of incomplete paperwork.

New Clients
All NEW clients to Hope (those who have never been here before) must have the following information below:
The head of the household must bring your ID and a piece of mail if your ID doesn’t have the correct address.
The Hope Emergency Program is a 501 (c) (3), social service outreach program. Every week food, clothing and household items are distributed to an average of 250 families. In addition to the weekly distribution, a special effort is made to help families recover from personal disasters such as home fires and floods. Our services are open to residents of Adams, Brown, Clinton, and Highland counties.
Some of our families need our services for a short time in order to recover from a loss of a job or personal disaster. Many of our families need more long-term assistance to make their income stretch to cover their necessities. Everyone who comes for food and clothing receives it.
Contact us if you have any questions about our program and eligibility.
