Faith4Hope Scholarship Fund is a 501c3 non-profit organization established by Faith Dixon and C. Hope Shields in 2016 in Fargo, ND. We saw the need to help the many families that cannot afford the necessities to provide for their families. Faith4Hope is has one of the fastest growing and busiest Food Pantries on the north side of Fargo serving the F-M community. At the end of 2020, we had served well over 1000 families and have given over 200,000 pounds of food. Faith4Hope is in the business of changing and shaping lives. The work we do at our non-profit organization is aimed at providing a holistic approach to solving some of our society’s biggest challenges. Through our programs; Back2School Backpack Giveaway, Thanksgiving Basket, Christmas in the Dakotas, Food Pantry, Joyfest, Juneteenth, and After-School Matters Community Center, we are committed to helping the BIPOC community and low-income families achieve equality and lasting independence. The problem of poverty is complex. It won’t yield to a simple solution or a quick fix. It requires an integrated approach that begins with meeting immediate needs while working to reach further to help people achieve independence and alleviate the root causes of poverty. Through advocacy and outreach activities, our team works tirelessly each day to contribute their part to the greater good. Our board is empowered by creating opportunities for individuals within our communities
