Hillsborough Organization for Progress & Equality 

The Hillsborough Organization for Progress and Equality (HOPE), consisting of multi-racial and interfaith congregations, is committed to winning a greater degree of justice in Hillsborough County through the power of a united voice. Based on the spiritual  values of justice, fairness, and dignity of persons, HOPE’s primary mission is to empower low-to-moderate income persons to identify community problems and effectively encourage public officials to take action to resolve those problems.

We are currently involved in the annual Support Drive. HOPE is funded in three ways:

1. Dues from member congregations

2. Individual and business investments

3. Non-governmental grants

When you make an investment in HOPE, you invest in yourself and the community.

HOPE is an opportunity to put into action our UU principles.  For more information, call Carol Partington, 985-9109. Checks to support HOPE activities may be mailed to the address below. Please indicate UUCT on the bottom of the check.
