North Texas nonprofit Hope Supply Co. raised a record $300,000 during its signature fall fundraising event, bringing together more than 250 supporters at the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden.
Hosted on October 28, the gathering featured the theme “Harvest for Hope,” celebrating community philanthropy aimed at supporting homeless and at-risk children. Krista Tankersley and Julie Abell served as co-chairs for the annual benefit.
A central highlight of the evening was the presentation of the Hope Hero Award to Pam and Richard Squires. Pam Squires has served on the nonprofit’s Board of Directors since 2017, contributing to its leadership, advocacy, and fundraising initiatives. Alongside her husband, a prominent Dallas business leader, the couple was recognized for their philanthropy and efforts to expand the organization’s community network.
Founded in 1989, Hope Supply Co. focuses on delivering critical necessities to vulnerable families. The organization distributes diapers, wipes, hygiene products, baby food, formula, toys, and clothing through a network of more than 70 nonprofit partner agencies, which include food pantries, domestic violence shelters, and healthcare centers.
Operational figures underscore the scale of the nonprofit’s reach. The agency serves more than 60,000 children each year, with over 94% of its revenue channeled directly into its critical-needs programs. Since its establishment, the organization has distributed more than 25 million diapers across North Texas and surrounding areas, with projections indicating that total distribution will reach 3.5 million diapers by the end of 2026.
