Jim Ries of Offit Kurman interviews Connie Cooper, Executive Director of HOPE For All, a Christian ministry in Glen Burnie, Maryland that helps families lacking financial means obtain basic household needs such as furniture, housewares, linens, and clothing. HOPE For All serves Anne Arundel County and parts of lower Baltimore City by receiving community donations, meeting with families to identify needs, packing items from its warehouse, and delivering them. Connie describes additional clothing programs supporting the Anne Arundel County School System and individuals in crisis, including those experiencing homelessness or reentering after incarceration, with over 70 partner organizations referring clients. The ministry brings in additional funding through yard sales of non-essential donated items and is expanding its facility with added square footage to increase capacity.
