Help Ourselves Project aims to resolve problems that plague people of Afrikan descent.

We are currently providing healthy fresh food distribution services to the Delaware valley region from Afrikan-American farms.

These farmers are losing land faster than any other group in the United States of America.

HOP aims to bridge the gap between these food producers and the inner-city urban areas that have inadequate numbers of neighborhood stores with the ability to provide a broad range of top-quality, healthy, traditionally grown and affordable food for the people who live there.

HOP's principle means of food distribution program is its food buyers club which provides bulk food distribution to organizations and businesses such as churches, community centers and restaurants.
