Hope Resource Network

In 2005, the response to Hurricane Katrina demonstrated how critically important it is for relief organizations to work together. Since that time, Humanitarian International Services Group (HISG) has been connecting like-minded resource and logistics providers whose passion and purpose is the effective and efficient acquisition and distribution of valuable goods to worthy humanitarian projects worldwide. This partnership, called the Hope Resource Network, is made up of warehousing, transportation, and manufacturing firms, along with other NGOs, working together to provide aid in disaster situations as well as for general humanitarian relief. HISG has developed partnerships with over 20 different warehouses in the United States and one in Hong Kong, and has access to a number of other logistics providers through HISG's existing networks.

The Hope Resource Network (HRN) is an essential part of how HISG connects resources to needs around the world. Building relationships to work together allows these warehouses to ship more goods to needy people worldwide, access a wide variety of goods to meet more specific needs, and cut down or even eliminate shipping costs. The HRN has been set up to serve the entire supply chain; from the origin of the resource all the way to the organization or individual who receives the goods. The HRN strives to see the goods effectively distributed to those in need in the field.

Members of the Hope Resource Network have worked together to ship food to the Middle East and multiple countries in Africa; disaster relief supplies to Central America; and medical equipment and supplies to Ghana and the Dominican Republic.

The Hope Resource Network offers a proven system to manage gift-in-kind donations and help deliver those donations to the people around the world who are in great need. Please contact us for more information on how the network operates and how your organization can become a part of it.
