Hope Creek Charitable Foundation is a non-profit organization located in Mill Creek, WA. It is a 501(c)(3) entity with a primary mission to partner with individuals to meet basic human rights of food and shelter by fostering a robust community and practicing exceptional generosity. Hope Creek Charitable Foundation’s early programs included Tailgate and Backpacks Of Hope. The Tailgate program provided hot meals to the homeless population in a safe and welcoming environment, offering more than just food. It provided a sense of community, a place to belong, and a chance to connect with others. The Backpacks Of Hope program for school children is another vital program that provides nutritious food for the weekends when school meals are not available, ensuring that children have access to healthy meals which in turn improves their academic performance, health, and overall well-being.

Hope Creek Charitable Foundation was approached to take over the Mill Creek Community Food Bank, which was started by students from Henry M. Jackson High School who noticed some of their peers experiencing food insecurity. Since Hope Creek Charitable Foundation already had programs in place to serve the food insecure population, including Tailgate and Backpacks Of Hope programs, it was a natural fit to include the Mill Creek Community Food Bank under its umbrella.
