Hope Supply Co. raised a record $300,000 at its Supply Hope! fall fundraiser on October 28, 2026, held at the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden and attended by over 250 Dallas-area guests. The nonprofit, which distributes diapers, hygiene products, formula and other basics to families facing financial hardship, honored Pam and Richard Squires with its Hope Hero Award.
Why it matters
Hope Supply Co. distributes necessities through partner agencies such as food pantries, domestic violence shelters and healthcare centers, so fundraising totals directly set how much material reaches those agencies. For Dallas-area businesses, the event shows how local sponsorship and donor relationships are being channeled toward essential-goods charities.
The event raised a record $300,000 with over 250 attendees, and the organization reports more than 94% of its revenue supports critical-needs programs. Hope Supply Co. serves more than 60,000 children annually through more than 70 nonprofit partner agencies.
The players
Hope Supply Co.
A Dallas-area nonprofit founded in 1989 that collects and distributes diapers, hygiene products and other basic necessities to families through more than 70 partner agencies.
Pam and Richard Squires
Honorees of Hope Supply Co.'s Hope Hero Award, with Pam Squires serving on the organization's Board of Directors since 2017.
The details
Hope Supply Co. collects and distributes diapers, wipes, hygiene products, baby food, formula, toys and clothing, passing them to families through partner agencies rather than direct retail sales. Because more than 94% of revenue is directed to critical-needs programs, event proceeds flow largely into the distribution network rather than overhead. The event's co-chairs, Krista Tankersley and Julie Abell, organized the evening around the 2026 theme Harvest for Hope.

Market Landscape
Hope Supply Co. operates in the essential-goods niche of nonprofit philanthropy, where diapers and hygiene products are among the most consistently requested items by partner agencies. The organization's model of routing donations through food pantries, domestic violence shelters and healthcare centers places its fundraising in direct competition with other Dallas-area charities for local sponsor dollars.
Dallas-area businesses considering sponsorships or in-kind donations should note that essential-goods charities are reporting strong donor response. Companies that donate product or sponsor events may want to consult their accountant on how such gifts are documented and deducted.
The takeaway
Donor response to essential-goods charities is strong, and sponsorship dollars are increasingly tied to measurable distribution outcomes. Businesses evaluating charitable partners should ask how much of each gift reaches program delivery, as Hope Supply Co. reports more than 94% of its revenue supporting critical-needs programs.
