It's Holiday season time once again! So let's get together again and create Hope for the Holidays for the 2nd year in a row!

Last year, thanks to you all, we threw 120 parties for 120 families facing food insecurity!
- Imagine the aromas of a meal of their choice wafting from their family's kitchen, the warmth, music and joy filling their home and then their children get to open a gift as well.
A Slice of Hope is teaming up again with St. John's Bread and Life in Brooklyn, NY for their 29th Annual Sponsor A Family Holiday Program.

- For every $125, a registered family facing food insecurity receives a holiday bag with all the essentials for a holiday meal, plus a $25 gift card for each of their children to get a special present.
A Slice of Hope will donate at least $5,000 and it is being matched 3 times: by two of St. John's Bread and Life's anonymous donors, as well as by their Giving Tuesday donors. So every $1 becomes $4!
Every donation counts!
Donate $125 and become a Pillar of Hope
Donate $500 and become a Provider of Hope
Thank you all and we're so excited to throw over 160 Parties of Hope, and create joy with everyone once again!

Our Story

A Slice of Hope spreads Joy and Optimism across America.

A Slice of Hope is about energizing the mind, body and spirit and bringing a sense of Renewal and Empowerment in donors as well as recipients.​

Currently, we do this by throwing Pizza Parties with Live Music. We feed the body with Pizza. We feed the spirit with Live Music. We feed the mind with a happy moment and a happy memory. When people are reminded of happier times, it gives us the strength to fight on. It reminds us that life can get better. One happy moment can change a life.​

A Slice of Hope energizes our donors. Our donors make a direct difference for a person in need. Just $1 sponsors 2 pizza slices and live music directly making 1 person’s life better. We combine that $1 with all the dollars from across the country allowing our donors to create tens of thousands of happy moments all across the country. We give our donors the satisfaction of making a direct difference.​
