Dallas – On Oct. 28, Hope Supply Co., a nonprofit that has served North Texas families since 1989, held its signature fall fundraiser, Supply Hope!, at the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden. The “Harvest for Hope” themed evening brought together over 250 Dallasites, local business leaders, and volunteers who helped the organization reach a new fundraising high of $300,000.
Community generosity fuels record donation
Co‑chairs Krista Tankersley and Julie Abell welcomed guests to a night that celebrated the power of community and philanthropy. Attendees enjoyed live music, a silent auction, and stories of how Hope Supply Co. delivers diapers, wipes, baby food, formula, clothing, and toys to families facing financial hardship.
Honoring local champions
The organization presented its annual Hope Hero Award to Pam and Richard Squires. Pam, a board member since 2017, has been praised for her leadership, advocacy, and fundraising efforts. Her husband, Richard, a Dallas business leader, has helped expand the nonprofit’s network of supporters through significant philanthropy and a shared commitment to the community.
Impact on children and families
By the end of 2026, Hope Supply Co. expects to have distributed 3.5 million diapers across North Texas and beyond. The nonprofit works with more than 70 partner agencies—including food pantries, domestic‑violence shelters, and health‑care centers—to provide essential items to families in need. Currently, the organization serves over 60,000 children each year, with more than 94 % of its revenue directed to critical‑needs programs.
Long‑term legacy
Since its founding in 1989, Hope Supply Co. has distributed more than 25 million diapers, a testament to the sustained generosity of Dallas donors and volunteers. The record‑breaking $300,000 raised at the Harvest for Hope event will enable the nonprofit to continue expanding its reach, ensuring that every child—regardless of circumstance—has the basic supplies needed to thrive.
Looking ahead
Organizers hope the momentum from this year’s event will inspire even greater community involvement in 2027. With a growing network of partners and a clear mission to support vulnerable children, Hope Supply Co. remains a vital part of the Dallas charitable landscape.
