One Child at a Time

The State of Hope Foundation is a nonprofit that seeks to provide equitable access to food, clothing, and educational growth opportunities to youth with adverse childhood experiences in Centre County. Children cannot grow—physically, mentally, or emotionally—if their needs are not met. Our programs aim to enrich lives, build confidence, and instill hope across our community.

Who We Are

Act Now to Restore Hope

Our programs provide foster children, children of low income families, single parents, and others in adverse situations with positive life experiences they may not otherwise be able to obtain.

The Holiday Season is Closer Than You Think

Our annual Target Christmas shopping spree sends your donations right into the hands of children in need. We invite local foster children to shop for the very things they are dreaming of this holiday season.


Last year we provided shopping sprees to 40 children + 20 adults. In 2025 we are expecting 50 children + 25 adults and we want your help!

Backpacks Donated This Year:
