Harris Farm Markets believes in the power of fresh food, strong families, and community support. This May, Harris Farm Markets is proud to partner with HOPE – a life-changing program that supports young parents and their children during the most critical time in a child’s life: the first 2000 days.
HOPE works alongside young families to create safe, stable, and nurturing environments – helping parents overcome challenges like homelessness, domestic violence, and financial hardship. Through weekly home visits and tailored support, HOPE empowers parents to build strong, loving homes where children can thrive.
How you can help
“This Mother’s Day, you can support this incredible work simply by picking up a HOPE Bouquet at your local Harris Farm Markets store. For every bouquet sold, $10 is donated directly to the HOPE Program,” the retailer said.
“Shopping online? You’ll also have the option to add a donation at checkout throughout May. Every dollar goes toward supporting young mums and dads who are doing everything they can to give their children a brighter future.”
Why it matters
Here’s why the work HOPE does is so important:
- 86% of families stayed together after completing the program
- 129 children from 107 families supported last year
- 77% of families were homeless or at risk of homelessness
- 71% of mothers experienced domestic or family violence
- 76% of families experienced financial stress
- 65% of women were pregnant at the time of referral.
“By purchasing a bouquet or donating online, you’re helping young families stay together and thrive. You’re giving more than flowers – you’re giving hope.”
