The Hope Foundation Sponsors July Event!

The Hope Foundation of Greater DaytonAfter only two years, The Hope Foundation of Greater Dayton has grown from distributing groceries to a handful of households to over 700 monthly in Greene and Montgomery Counties in Ohio. They distribute more than TEN TONS of Foodbank food EVERY MONTH through their mobile food pantry. Each household receives two bags of groceries and 5 lbs of meat. (A $40.00 donation allows Hope to access 1,000 lbs of food!) Volunteers prep, bag and distribute food every week through outreaches in Dayton, Huber Heights, Beavercreek/Kettering, Fairborn, Cedarville and Jamestown. Hope plans to expand into Xenia, Yellow Springs and Spring Valley in the near future.

Hope is currently an all-volunteer organization that partners with churches, schools and other organizations to make a difference. They recently received a grant from CareSource Foundation allowing them to computerize their operation, eliminating paperwork for those they are serving!

“The tough economy has hit people pretty hard. People who have never had to visit a food pantry are finding themselves having to ask for help. Our job is to make that as easy as possible for them. For us, the food, as important as it is, is only a means to an end. That end is building relationship with the people we are serving… to restore people’s dignity… to listen to their story and offer encouragement.”

Scott Sliver (Sly-ver), Hope’s Executive Director loves social media! Scott’s background in advertising and non-profits gives him unique insights on building relationships, developing volunteers and empowering others.

Lebanon Ford


Lebanon Ford proudly serves the Greater Cincinnati and Dayton areas and unlike most dealers prides itself in being unique in breaking the stereotypes associated with car buying. They don’t use over the top cheesy messages, or proclaim themselves a geographical oddity by saying they’re located 15 minutes from anywhere. They believe they’re better than that. Lebanon Ford is heavily dedicated to the local community, this year they were the main sponsor of the University of Cincinnati’s Football 101 Woman’s clinic which helped raise over $13,000 for breast cancer research while teaching women the fundamentals of football. They were also the main sponsor for their Basketball 101 Women’s clinic. In addition they were the main sponsor for the Keep Cincinnati Beautiful’s successful Littering is Wrong Too campaign joining KCB in the fight to keep the streets of Cincinnati clean and litter free.

Lebanon Ford is very transparent and approachable online. You will find them consistantly engaging with those around Dayton and Cincinnati via Twitter @lebanonford, Facebook, YouTube, Tumblr and through their blogs Ford Life and Ford Project.

The Hope Foundation of Greater Dayton – November Sponsor!


We are thrilled to feature our November sponsor — The Hope Foundation of Greater Dayton! Scott Sliver, Hope’s Executive Director, will give a brief overview at the November 12th New Media Dayton meetup.

The Hope Foundation of Greater Dayton primarily functions as a “mobile food pantry” simply providing food to those in need. Hope is a member of The Foodbank in Dayton, Ohio. They provide nine meals to each household on a monthly basis. Items typically include whole frozen chicken, Black Angus beef, frozen ground turkey, ham, peanut butter, jelly, stews, soups, pastas, rice, beans, fruits, vegetables, cereal, juice and milk…helping families meet basic nutritional needs.

The Hope Foundation of Greater Dayton operates in Greene and Montgomery Counties in Ohio. While The Hope Foundation is a fairly new organization (just over one year old), they had a very successful first year. By being a member of The Foodbank (paying a $.04-per-pound membership fee) they are able to afford large quantities of food. Each month they pick up, bag and distribute more than TEN TONS of food to 600 households right here in the Miami Valley!

For more information, to donate, or to volunteer contact Scott Sliver at 937.329.6552 or email scott.sliver at hopeofdayton dot com (spelled out to scare away spam bots).
