Who we are

Helping Our Public Education System, Inc. (HOPES), a registered Alabama nonprofit corporation and recognized 501(c)(3) charitable organization, was founded by Seth & Megan Rhodebeck to demonstrate the love of God to the students, families, teachers, and administrators of the Montgomery Public School system by working to alleviate the crippling effects of poverty. We believe that every student is valuable and we work to provide those in need with the opportunity to progress from surviving to thriving. HOPES raises awareness and recruits community organizations and individuals to help.
