Hope's Corner Inc

This place is amazing! Really doing GODs work. The staff and volunteers always have great positive attitudes������ this organization has helped me see the world different, I didn't think anybody really cared about homeless but this place truly cares about the homeless and really wants to help the homeless. Amen.

Great well run organization, amazing volunteers and staff!

Volunteering at Hope’s Corner every Friday morning for about three hours each week is a weekend highlight for my wife and me. We receive personal satisfaction knowing that we help others by the hundreds of meals that we prepare for needy and food insecure clients each week. We have developed deep personal relationships with the other volunteers at Hope’s Corner. Hope’s Corner has allowed us to be a force for good and to generate kind and compassionate new friends.

Please support Hope’s Corner with donations and/or volunteering and you will find, as I have, that the rewards are more than seventy times seven the effort.

Certain things cannot be written or said ,one needs to see it to feel it
I had been volunteering with Hope's Corner for more than a year.
Awesome organization run by some of the best people I have come across.
Everyone here is served with respect ,compassion and with a smile;
The community is indebted to those who initiated this effort and
nurtured it over the years .As an honor to them this needs to be continued ad infinitum.

I’ve been volunteering here for the last several years. Great organization with caring and committed volunteers making a difference for many people in need within our community.

I am a regular volunteer at Hope's Corner. It is a wonderful soup kitchen that helps anyone who needs meals. There are some regular guests who come weekly and getting to know their names and who they are is one of the best parts of volunteering. Getting to know the other volunteers is another great part about helping out there.

Have been volunteering with Hope’s Corner for a little over a year. Very well run, volunteer coordination is excellent. People are all very friendly and easy to work with. This organization provides high quality, freshly prepared, nutritious meals for those in need, plus laundry services, showers, bike repair, etc. Excellent organization.

I love coming here every Saturday to volunteer. I've made some great friends with like-minded people. I appreciate giving back to our local community and can see the impact that Hope's Corner makes. It also reminds me to be grateful for what I have.

I've recently started helping out at Hope's corner. I love meeting the seniors and serving the underserved. The volunteers are wonderful and have stories and so much more to learn from.

The place to go to where you're always welcome is Hope's Corner. I am
involuntarily retired early from a very fascinating technology career
that no longer exists since the Great Recession. I'm not the only one
affected by massive layoffs at that time. A large number of small
technology startup companies, which are not large enough to be
required to give 6 months advanced notice of layoffs, all cut
workforce in lock-step all at the same time. Silicon Valley became
infamous for being the number one in homelessness in the country.

The place that has helped me through difficulties is Hope's Corner. I
enjoy brunch on Saturdays in the dining room of the Trinity Methodist
Church. I see many veterans, senior citizens, and lots of other
people like me who have no career or lost a good career through no
fault of their own. I hear several languages in the dining room and
Hope's Corner serves all. Everyone gets a fresh nutritious hot meal, a
choice of beverage, an optional second hot meal in a box to take home,
and an optional brown bag lunch snack. Hope's Corner's volunteers are
the gold medal winners of charitable service. Hope's Corner's
volunteers have thought of everything from nutrition to logistics of
cold and hot food transportation, preparation, cooking, and serving to
hundreds of grateful guests. Hope's Corner does more than serve
brunch several time per week. I just enjoy the meals and don't take
more so that others can benefit from the many other services available
at Hope's Corner.

I also noticed that Hope's Corner is environmentally friendly. The
take home hot food box is compostable paper not styrofoam. The cold
and hot beverage cups are compostable paper not toxic plastic. For
carrying out, Hope's Corner provides compostable paper bags not the
environmentally polluting plastic. Hope's Corner's volunteers separate
compostable food waste from trash minimizing the impact on the
environment.

If someone were to ask "What's so great about Hope's Corner?", my
guess would be that the volunteers would probably be too humble to say
anything. Hope's Corner does not do anything exceptional by any
stretch of the imagination. Hope's Corner does a lot of ordinary
things exceptionally well. Hope's Corner's volunteers are saints in
disguised in plain sight, but at first you wouldn't know it as the
volunteers are ordinary, normal people who care about the community
and express it by their good deeds and giving nutritious meals to the
community. Many years of dedication to service is what makes Hope's
Corner great.

I’ve been volunteering at Hope’s corner for over 8 years. It’s been great working with so many other wonderful volunteers serving our community. It’s also been humbling getting to know our homeless and elderly clients, who appreciate being served hot and “to go” meals every week.

Nothing is more straightforward as an idea than getting good food to people to are hungry. Hopes Corner has the goal and it also has the logistics worked out really well. Guests are well fed and volunteers are well trained. The whole operation is very well organized.

I’ve been volunteering at Hope’s Corner in Mountain View for a few months now, and every time i’ve been there it’s just a great experience. The staff is so welcoming and is very helpful to not only the community, but to their new volunteers they receive. Jobs are very straightforward, easy to do and well organized. Great work environment and is very rewarding every single time. Having a hand in making someone’s day just a little bit better is good for the soul and I am so glad that Hope’s Corner is serving the community in every way that they can.

This is our 2nd time volunteering at Hope’s Corner. We were able to see how their food distribution helps make a difference in our community. We enjoy the encounter with our brothers & sisters in need.
Our hope is to volunteer every month & discover if we can also help with the laundry & shower services they offer.
Hope’s Corner is very well organized & allows us to work efficiently with other volunteers in good spirit☀️ A&B

I love volunteering here! Everyone is super sweet and we always have fun. There are plenty of opportunities for anyone to get involved and there’s always plenty to do!

I started volunteering at Hope's Corner during 2021. It's a great experience and a great organization. Volunteering there can let you serve in many different capacities from meal prep, serving, greeting individuals, and doing dishes. It's a wonderful organization that does so much good for the local community. I highly recommend volunteering at Hope's Corner.

I've had the privilege of volunteering at Hope's Corner, and it's a truly remarkable place. They provide free meals, showers, and laundry services to those in need, making a real difference in the community. What's even more inspiring is the incredible group of volunteers who selflessly donate their time and energy to serve others.

The commitment and dedication of the volunteers at Hope's Corner are truly inspiring. It's a place where people come together to provide essential services to those in need. If you're seeking a meaningful way to contribute to your community, consider donating or volunteering here.

Mike and Marisa couple are amazing !!! Alice Cote organizer rocks !!!

I volunteered here with a group from work. It was so well organized and easy to jump into, and very rewarding to interact with people enjoying their meals. I plan to volunteer again.

Have volunteered by myself and with family members. Well run, efficient, kind, excellent communication and organization of roles to help during your volunteer shift. It is great to see the personal impact in the eyes of those who come here to eat or receive other help. Will continue to volunteer here.

I helped out in the kitchen (mostly washing dishes) at HC for a couple of years. Everyone there is respectful, friendly, and extremely focused on taking care of their patrons. Instead of bureaucracy that you find in a lot of nonprofits, the leadership at HC was only interested in finding new ways to help the most people possible. Specifically in the kitchen, everyone was on the same page about what needed to get done; even though we were often short-staffed, everyone was respectful of each others' schedules. It was amazing how talented and adaptable that team and the rest of the people at HC are.

I've moved away for now, but I hope that some day I will move closer again so that I can get back to work.

I volunteered a few times at Hope's Corner in Mountain View.

I have been volunteering with Hope's Corner since May and have thoroughly and wholeheartedly enjoyed my time here. Everyone is so wonderful and appreciative!! If you live in the Bay Area and are interested in getting involved I would highly recommended it.

I have had an incredible time volunteering at Hope's Corner over the past two years. As both a Green Aproner and a student in high school, Hope's Corner's Saturday shifts allowed me to volunteer on the weekend and grow my relationships with some of the other volunteers as well as the clients in that community. Participating in the number of roles offered at Hope's Corner, there is no position that I have participated in that I did not love. Whether it was cooking in the kitchen or directly conversing with clients while serving their needs, I have had an amazing time volunteering there and look forward to participating more in the future!

I had great experience in Hope's corner. The staffs are very friendly and supportive. I really enjoyed this activity. I am not so good at speaking English because I came US last year. But all folks are so kind that I have never felt uncomfortable.

In my point of view this nonprofit organization Hope's Corner is one of the best places to volunteer at. The staff is amazing and knowledgeable. If you are looking to volunteer and help others please take the time and review what Hope's corner provides. Five stars all the way.

Huge impact on local community ! I love helping cooking for people in need.

Amazing people! Well run. Serve their community with inclusivity, generosity, and an eye towards serving ever increasing needs. They always make it fun to be part of the team giving everyone there an important role.

This is an excellent organization. Very well run, not a dollar wasted. Everything goes directly to the community that Hope's Corner serves.

I like your hunger problem. I won't donate, but I still will give you a 5 star review.

I have never volunteered with an organization so dedicated to helping those in need. It is a team effort and Hopes Corner is that team.

Hope's Corner serves over 500 meals a week to the community in need. Over the years, I have never seen a non-profit that well managed: It's very professional, leaders always have a smile on their face while being very focussed on the job, and more importantly all the volunteers' is well valued: you feel useful. And it shows on the happy customer faces!

My daughters and I volunteer either on Friday food prep or on Saturday food service shifts. We really love being part of such a well run program and very much enjoy working alongside such amazing volunteers. It's so rewarding to know the food that we help prep and cook on a Friday afternoon is going to be used the following morning for all those in need. Volunteering on a Saturday has the joy of personally meeting all those being helped by the food we prepare on Friday. Strongly recommend the program as a very rewarding volunteer opportunity for everyone.

I feel fortunate that I was able to volunteer at the age of 80+. Working together with others who are passionate about helping others was inspiring.

When I helped prepare meals, the food was so good that I would go home and prepare the recipe for myself.

The guests at Hope’s Corner not only receive meals and the opportunity for a warm shower but also receive assistance in locating resources to help them attain independence.

I definitely would recommend 5 Stars for Hope’s Corner.

Great place to volunteer! You get a chance to meet your guests and to work with other friendly volunteers.

It's Friday night at Hope's Corner, Mountain View CA, second shift. Two experienced young volunteers are teaching us newbies the fine points of mixing meat loaf and prepping potatoes au gratin. Beautiful food goes out the door at Hope's Corner—served to guests and delivered to RV families. Commitment, cooperation (and fun) produce each meal.

Here at the corner of Hope and Mercy is hospitality, one enriched with generous food donations from local restaurants. In a 2½-hour shift, from dishwashers to prep people to chefs and servers, there is an awareness of the folks who will be in line soon, and deliveries going out to the RVs. There is time pressure too. Just as in any restaurant at rush hour.

This Friday night, our shift finishes with ten minutes to spare, all the food refrigerated, kitchen clean and sanitized, trash put away. Tomorrow neighbors will enjoy breakfast and a take-away lunch. Skilled planning makes multiple meals happen every week. It look low-key and is amazing. It makes me think of Project Home in Philadelphia, also the best.

Hope's Corner invites supporters and volunteers to create a seat at the table for all.
Its a practical, hardworking hospitality. And in that house of welcome we feel a world renewed.

Serves homeless population around Mountain View, with a great team of volunteers., who are very good at what they are doing .

Hope’s Corner provides amazing services to the unhoused and others in need in our community. This organization has figured out a way to provide showers, meals, and social interaction to hundreds of people in need and is a highly sought after volunteer spot in the community. The volunteer lead is always accepting of help and runs this program with efficiency and precision. My family loves volunteering here and Hope’s Corner gives us much more than our few hours gives them.

I am so honored to acknowledge the unwavering care and compassion that the team at Hope’s Corner have devoted to better serve those in need here in the Silicon Valley. This incredible group works tirelessly to provide fresh and nutritious meals, hot showers, clean laundry, bikes, power chargers, new clothing and other goods and services to our most vulnerable and underserved neighbors—and always with a smile on their faces. Every guest at Hope’s Corner is warmly welcomed and treated with kindness and respect.

This work has been especially important during the last year and a half as income inequality has continued to increase during the pandemic. In a time full of so much chaos and uncertainty, many people have operated from a place of fear and scarcity. This wonderful team at Hope’s Corner has never faltered in actively choosing to lead with abundant grace and generosity. It has been a beautiful thing to witness and volunteering with them has been an experience that my husband and I feel very fortunate and proud to be a part of.

I started at Hope's because my daughter wanted to volunteer. She had heard about Hope's at school. She wasn't a driver yet so she and I volunteered together. Hope's was not only an organization helping those experiencing homelessness, it was an organization training young and old alike to think of others. The culture at Hope's was such that all volunteers had fun pitching in and getting the jobs done. The result of those jobs would make those that were in need at the time a little more comfortable. I give credit to the leaders at Hope's Corner for helping a young person build what I think will be a life long habit of giving her time to others in need. I hope there are other groups like Hope's who care for those in their local community and are leading the youth in this way.

I like volunteering, and I do a lot of it! Hope's Corner is by far the best organized charity I have ever volunteered for. Everything functions like a well greased machine: the planning, the food prep, the setup, the kitchen, the packing, the serving, the shower services, the food delivery, the cleaning...everything! It's very humbling to package over 300 meals at incredible speed, wash a mountain of dirty pots and pans, or clean showers...but Hope's volunteers do it, and they do it with all their heart. I feel very lucky to be able to work sometimes along these wonderful volunteers and help the community!

The most amazing, cheerful, helpful, and unselfish group of volunteers I've ever worked with. I've been volunteering there for more than 5 years and it's a joy to work side by side with everyone there. Whenever I leave my volunteering shift, I leave with a warm heart that I helped someone.

Hi my name is Ann S. Made 5 years in 05/21 when I got a phone interview by Leslie Carmichael the founder of Hope's Corner Mrs. Carmichael trained me on setting up the production line. It's a positive,friendly, social environment. We tend to stay focus & care for our community & the people that comes from afar. We also abide by the protocol.

I've been a client of Hope's Corner for more than 4 years. For me, it started out as a place to get a hot meal on Saturday mornings. Now I'm not only a client, I'm also a volunteer.

Hope's Corner provides much needed services for those who are unhoused or on a limited income. Clients can pick up meals and sign up for shower and laundry services on Wednesday and Saturday mornings.

On Saturday mornings, a computer lab equipped with laptops, a printer and a scanner is available for clients on a first come first serve basis. Assistance in benefits signup and CA LifeLine phone application are also available on Saturday mornings.

I am grateful for all the services I've being receiving since coming to Hope's Corner. Big shout out to Wei and Claire for their caring support. And to Kevin for helping everyone out with their bikes.

I have been helping at Hopes Corner for several years. I started out washing pots and pans on Saturday while others served hot breakfast to our clients in the Sanctuary. When Covid hit, we changed to preparing the hot meals both Friday and Saturday and presenting them to our guests in a "take out" manner on Saturdays in conjunction with delivering bags of food to those folks living in RV's in and around Mtn. View. My job went from Saturday morning pot scrubbing to Friday morning assembling, packaging, sorting, food preparation and anything else that our great team leader, Mike, needed done.

Why do I do this? Because it fills my heart and soul with comfort knowing there are services like Hope's Corner out there who could be feeding my homeless son as we feed those who come to Hope's Corner. Each guest is treated with dignity as I wish my son to be treated. It's just a win/win for me .

I've had the pleasure of working for Hope's Corner on and off for the past 10 years or so in a variety of roles. I've gotten to know quite a few members of their staff and they are some of the most hardworking and resourceful people I have worked with. Every member of their Board of Directors is intimately involved with their clients and makes sure that everyone's needs are met.

Hopes Corner does great work in our community. I've been impressed at the dedication of the volunteer leadership and their ability to get other excited about this important work. Being able to interact with the guests also provides greater perspective and understanding of the challenges they face and greater appreciation for things that many of us take for granted (enough to eat, access to a shower). Hopes Corner also works hard to connect its guests with resources and services available through other agencies and magnify its impact in that way.

I've been volunteering with Hope's Corner for 2 years now, cooking warm meals for homeless and food insecure clients. My main shift is in the kitchen for the Wednesday weekly lunch (now breakfast) where we serve over 300 meals including about 75 that get delivered to RV dwellers. The Saturday meal is even bigger. Hope's Corner is a super well-run organization that makes extremely good use of donated food as well as purchasing food and supplies on a shoestring budget. The huge number of both regular and occasional volunteers are really amazing and go to great lengths to provide a much needed service in the community. I know from my many interactions with some of the clients we serve, that they truly appreciate and need the good food, the smile and the welcome that Hope's Corner offers. The clothes bank, the shower facilities, laundry and phone chargers are additional services that are much appreciated. Hope's Corner accomplishes a huge amount on a shoestring budget and with very limited part time staff. All financial donations are very well spent and much appreciated.

This place is filled with people who want to love and serve the community clients in need. Because of Hope's Corner, the clients can come to feed their bodies and their souls. The clients are greeted with may servants who know them by name and take the time to hear of their struggles. I was most impressed in the beginning when one of the leaders told me that we never turn away a request for food... even if they ask for 2nds and 3rds. That showed me that there is no judgement from the servants, and just the heart to give and share.

I first became aware of Hope's Corner when my Rotary club had one of our service projects there. I never knew we had a soup kitchen in Mountain View or that there was even a need. I fell in love with this wonderful organization and my heart fills up every time I volunteer there. Not just because of the service, but also because every volunteer has a great heart and they are a joy to work with. If you are looking to give back to the community, there isn't a better place to volunteer than Hope's Corner.

I have been volunteering with Hope's Corner since June 2021. They provide services to homeless and food insecure folks. These services include hot meals, laundry and showers, and I have volunteered across all these services. Overall the operation is very well organized and they train and equip volunteers to follow all safety and cleaning protocols. I am really enjoying my volunteer time at Hope's Corner!

When the moratorium happened, my unhoused situation turned bottomless. I was experiencing an indefinite free fall. The places that were essential to my situation were no longer accessible. The college where I was attending refused to provide a place where there is charging outlets, bathroom and wifi in order to do homework and study for the upcoming finals. The county Supervisor's office directed me to the local emergency network agencies which were unable to help. The free fall continued without any sense of hope. Then I came across Hope's Corner. True to its name, my falling has turned a corner to hope. As Leslie at Hope's Corner was thinking aloud the possible solutions to my situation, I began to feel the ground beneath my feet again. A few days later, she told me to come pick up the batteries for my laptop. I was able to complete that school's quarter. The chargers continue to enable me to have a temporary remote job and provide much needed income for my essential expenses. Hope's Corner not only provided the vital help for my dire needs, they gave me hope. I have been blessed to experience what genuine caring is. Hope's Corner listened and actually feel my predicament and took action where all the others did not bother to even try. Thank you Hope's Corner. You are a true inspiration by your actions.

I've been volunteering at Hope's Corner for 2.5 years or so, and it has truly been a blessing to be a part of this amazing organization. The clients are served hot meals, to go bags, and pre-COVID 19, have an opportunity for hot showers every week. No client is turned away, and its clear that there is a need for these services, along with the chance for community that comes with them. The other volunteers are amazing - super generous, open-hearted, hard-working, committed, and faithful. I am always humbled by them, especially those who have served faithfully since its inception.

I have been volunteering on and off for 1.5 years, and on a regular team for thelast 4 months. This group of individuals, from volunteers to the board members, are honestly the most devoted I have been affiliated with. Their only goal is working as smart, and hard as necessary, wth the goal of providing food and other necessities for those with both short- and long-term requirements.

Hope's Corner is a wonderful nonprofit that serves homeless, low-income, and vulnerable people in Mountain View and the surrounding cities. The volunteers who volunteer their time at Hope's Corner are warm and compassionate and their heart for those they serve really shines through in their service. (Pre-pandemic) Not only does Hope's Corner provide fresh meals, they also provide charging devices, a shower service, and more. During the pandemic, Hope's Corner provides to-go meals and delivery service. They do so much great work for the community and are very well-organized.

Hope's Corner does wonderful work for individuals in Mountain View. They serve up a hot, healthy, delicious meal for anyone who requests a meal. In addition, the visitors get a bag of healthy snacks too! When guests arrive for a meal, they are greeted by a group of smiling, friendly, helpful volunteers who genuinely care about the well-being of those who come for a meal. Friendship, dignity and a warm, healthy meal makes Hope's Corner an amazing nonprofit.

This is a very special organization. My family has volunteered here since Hope's Corner was established. They are housed right in my neighborhood and allowed me to bring my children to assist with serving breakfast. Over the years, we have helped out with prep/cooking days, shower service, serving a hot breakfast, and, during COVID-19, prepping drive-up meals to go. The clients and other volunteers are kind and interesting people. Volunteering here is always an engaging and uplifting experience. The leadership (board) of Hope's Corner is exceptional. They serve as exemplars for how a non-profit should be run. They are especially skilled at working with the surrounding community at all levels and bringing many different parties together to make positive and lasting changes that benefit all. We love Hope's Corner!

My husband Mike Fischetti and I were involved from the beginnings of Hope’s Corner—6 years ago. We said, “How lucky can we be. It is just around the corner from our home and we will meet wonderful clients as well as volunteers.” Hope’s is dedicated to serving nutritious meals; long ago we quit accepting free bread and cakes given the high levels of diabetes among our clients and we have never served soft drinks. More importantly, we serve fresh salads every meal and were initially surprised when the salads were among the most popular food, even for breakfast. We have created a community at Hope’s where we learn from each other, support each other, and are committed to addressing food insufficiency, while giving support to those needing housing, transportation, jobs, and a caring friend.

My sons and I volunteered at Hope's Corner for about 2.5 years before COVID and will cherish those times. Seeing regulars like Leslie, Sharon, Judy, Kathy, Mike, and the others, as well as new volunteers of all ages and backgrounds, felt like I would see my extended family. We enjoyed getting to know the regular guests and each had their own story of hardship but also hope for a better life and we felt good about making their day just a little bit better.

The work we did varied from week to week and kept things interesting. Everyone there always came with a good attitude and wanted to be helpful. Volunteering at Hope's Corner is a great experience as the organizers are well organized, have solid safety protocols, good equipment, and great communication. Come and join the wonderful group of volunteers at Hope's Corner.

I started volunteering about 1.5 years ago, and was quickly convinced on how impactful Hope's Corner was. I now am there as a regular crew member from set up to clean up on Saturday. The clients really appreciate getting both the hot brunch and the cold lunch bags to go, and I really have appreciated getting to know the regular clients that we serve. COVID has meant that we have had to transition from in-person dining to all-to-go (hot and cold) served outside, but we continue to make sure that the clients are getting the meals that they need.

Hope's Corner is a welcoming place that provides two meals a week for anyone who comes. It is a highly organized, efficient organization with devoted people in charge and those who volunteer. I have helped on the set-up team for close to two years and plan to continue into the future. I consider the Friday Team as my good friends who are contributing to an important cause.

I have been volunteering at Hope’s Corner for about 18 months and I love my work there. Prior to Covid-19 we provided in house dining to over 100 people on Saturday. I am very proud of the way we adapted to conditions after Covid-19 as we continue to distribute food on Saturdays AND Wednesdays, and deliver to RV parks. Not surprisingly, given the times, the number of meals distributed has increased greatly.
Although I no longer interact with our guests I thoroughly enjoy the prep that I do and have made good friends through working with my Friday team.
Before I joined the volunteer group at Hope’s Corner I used to hear it said that you get more out of volunteering than you put it. This is absolutely the case for me - I cannot speak highly enough of my experience. Jo

I am a client, donor, and volunteer for and from the Hope's Corner simultaneously. That worked out quite well for my research projects at a time I could not have worked for 3 jobs at the same time for being very low income and at times nearly 'no income.' The meal and shower programs combined with laundry services, in addition to some needed items for being a homeless person helped me save money for housing and other projects I had hoped to complete.

Much is also learned that so many homeless and under-privileged people need some care and help. Hope's Corner improved so much in the past 6 years for the programs it provided, with the addition of winter shelter.

Hope's Corner deserves 4.5 to 5 rating. I am still a client and volunteer for the organization ever since shortly after it opened. I made friends with the nice volunteers and certainly some helpful clients there.
