Joliet Hope Center

Love coming here. I come just about every 2 weeks to stock up on freezer/pantry items. They always have really good pricing on items also keep in mind some stuff is out of date, but not everything. It depends on what items they are that I decide if I am going to take the chance on them when they are expired or not. BUT I feel they are very good at keeping things frozen that need to be frozen, and making sure all things that need to be cold, stay cold. I always worry when I get stuff from places that get items donated like they do because of the worry of food borne illnesses from not being stored right, or even not freezing before it goes bad. But I have yet to run into an issue with anything that I have bought from here. The last 2 times we have gone the TP and the bread has been gone, so that's been kind of a bummer because the bread my grandma always likes to have on hand and I like to have the TP on hand. The ladies are always nice here though, and it does get busy on the weekends so be prepared. I also love that they offer 20% discount to veterans and family members of that veteran. Helps us save on groceries each week. Super thankful to have found out about this place.

Amazing prices! Selections are what they are. Always good, but if you see sonething, get it. Won't be there next time. Love this place

This place is worth the drive for me. I can usually walk out with a cart full of groceries for less than $100. It's hit or miss, and you never know what you'll find here. There are not a lot of meat choices. There are pet supplies and food. Not sure what the owner is thinking, but prices of bags of dog food are sky high and usually priced at retail value or higher. They have vitamins and health care supplies. A lot of stuff on the shelves is outdated but still consumable. There is a $5 annual membership fee, cash only. If you purchase over $50, you can usually acquire bonus items from the front desk. There's always free bread and dairy products like yogurt available. Word of caution- BRING YOUR OWN BAGS! The store will not supply them for you, nor do they have boxes. I learned that once the hard way and had to throw everything on my trunk piece by piece. I will keep returning here.

This is a wonderful ministry and resource. I travel 45 minutes once a month to shop here. So worth the time as I always find amazing food for amazing prices. They also have cleaning supplies, clothing, shoes, makeup and OTC medicine. Facility is clean and organized. The volunteer staff are friendly. There is always something different every time I visit.

Such a friendly staff , Mark is the most kind man you could ever meet. As for the store they have great bargains .

So grateful for this food ministry. We feel like we're being good stewards of God's gifts by making use of the food that is near its use by date.

The prices are reasonable. There's some that are the same as other stores. They also give veteran's discount at checkout.

Great place to find some deals just have to watch some of products

I love this place. It has a good mission and the cost I pay for a whole cart of stuff is totally worth it!!! They give freebies and just overall great special prices! I strongly suggest. They take cash, credit, and now ebt

If I could give 10 stars instead of five I would. This place is incredible. I easily spend 2-3 hrs per visit. Prices are often between 50-90% cheaper than what you would pay in other stores. Plus you are donating to a Christian charity when you buy here as I believe it is to raise money for a not for profit organization. There are many health items, organic etc. That's probably my favorite reason for shopping here.
