Fighting Food Insecurity through Better Nutrition
Shopping with Dignity and Anonymity
Feeding Heart and Soul
The Hope Market name reflects the hope we inspire in those we serve through our market-style food pantries.
We believe in dignity through nutritious, culturally, and dietarily relevant food choices for everyone without discrimination.
We are currently open on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, 10am -1pm
Doors close to shoppers at 12:50pm to facilitate flow. Please get in line early!
The Tacoma Hope Market provides food security through it's partnerships with:
Hope Market provides a variety of foods that are nutritious, culturally appropriate, dietarily diverse, and fun to eat! We offer an abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables as well as healthy commodities such as dried beans, pasta, rice, oatmeal, cereals, and so much more that provide shelf life as well as good health. We also have canned goods, pet foods, baked goods, snacks, beverages, and some treats for kids and adults alike.
We're interested to know what our shopper's food preferences are and are currently conducting an anonymous Food Preference Survey with our shoppers during our normal market hours. If you would like to join us, you can download our survey and drop it off during regular business hours.
We're already starting to make changes to Hope market that will reflect our mission of serving those in need without discrimination.
We're adding reach-in freezer and refrigerator units as well as rolling shelving that allow our shoppers to make choices for
themselves in a way that reflects a traditional shopping experience. We've also added the ability to scan our participants in without the
need of pen and paper data collection. This allows our guests anonymity, the lack of which can represent a strong barrier against food security.
In the coming months, you will see new signage and we'll be updating our look.
We want to invite the public to contact us at any time with questions regarding Hope Market's operation and upgrade plans. Please contact us
by email if you would like a tour.
We will continue to move forward with improvements as resources allow.
Because we want our market participants to enjoy nutritious foods they may not be used to cooking, we have come
up with a fun way to share recipes that work with the items we offer. We will offer Tacoma Hope Market collected recipes
binders to each household while supplies last. Each week, a new recipe will be available to shoppers based on current offerings,
andit will be hole-punched and ready to go in your binder. It's a great way to collect healthy recipes that you can add to your own family favorites.
Suggestions are always welcome!
You don't have to shop at Hope Market to collect recipes. Please feel free to check here each week
to download recipes you might like to try! We've even included the cover sheet for your own notebook.
