Hope Out Loud in Action

---

 July 2024- Big Ell's 4th Annual Cook Off The first time the Hope Out Loud Foundation accepted donations in efforts to spread them back to local Ocean County NJ Families. All donations were divided through various Charities, Nonprofits, and Personal Families. 

We're working privately with a few families. Collected and dropped off non perishable foods, also collecting gifts for them as well.

With raised donations we were able to donate money to The Dowd Annual Thanksgiving Food Drive

With raised donations we were able to sponsor several Beachwood families through the Christmas Angels

 One of our founders, Jennifer has a private event to collect donations to be handed back out to Ocean County residents in need. (Prior to starting the Hope out Loud Foundation, in 2023 we collected over 80 gifts for Toys for Tots).

We had an amazing turnout for 2024; we collected non-perishable goods and unwrapped gifts. With Help from the Dowd Family the gifts went to Providence House of Ocean County. The Collected food items were donated to Potter's Pantry in Bayville NJ.  

 This event was open to the public! With the help of over 150 guests, we were able to donate proceeds to more local families going through hardships who were in need of hot meals, clothing, necessities, etc. J.  

The FIFTH Annual Big Ell's Cookout was an AMAZING SUCCESS!!! Over 200 attendants! We collected School supplies for this event. It was a FREE event to attend. We will be distributing the School Supplies to Local Beachwood and surrounding families early Sept 2025! THANK YOU ALL AGAIN!

This event was an amazing success! With the help of our sponsors and volunteers, we were able to sell out!  Special thanks to our Local business and community for donating over 115 gifts for our auction. WOW! What an amazing time.
