About the Organization

Power of HOPE became a not-for-profit in 2011 and a charity in 2014. The organization expanded into Woodstock in 2012 and continues to focus resources on local needs.

In December 2023, the decision was made to close the London Chapter due to local organizations no longer needing Christmas packages.
