About Hope Exists Foundation

We meet people where they are—connecting individuals and families in Atlantic County to recovery, food, and essential support.

Who We Are

The Hope Exists Foundation began as the Atlantic County Sheriff’s Foundation, supporting the Hope One mobile outreach program. What started as a small initiative to connect individuals in crisis to treatment has grown into a fully independent nonprofit serving communities across Atlantic County.

Today, we provide hands-on support to individuals and families facing substance use, food insecurity, and other life challenges. Our work is rooted in compassion, connection, and meeting people where they are, without judgment.

​

What We Do

• Recovery Outreach – Connecting individuals directly to treatment, recovery services, and ongoing support

• Food Assistance – Providing monthly drive-up food distributions and access to our in-house pantry

• Transportation Support – Helping individuals get to treatment and other critical services

• Sober Living Support – Assisting with safe housing when funding criteria is met

• Community Partnerships – Working alongside local organizations to expand access to care

• ​

At the core of everything we do is one goal: to remove barriers and help people move forward.
