AHOPE is a welcoming place for anybody and everybody, including those with animal companions. We're always in need of dog & cat food and treats. If you would like to donate, please feel free to drop items off at AHOPE (19 N Ann Street) during open hours or order directly through our Amazon Wishlist at bit.ly/ahopewishlist
