Joining God in the renewal of our neighborhood.

Together with our neighbors, we are working to end poverty in our community.

For too long, families in Tulsa have been trapped in the cycle of poverty. It's time to think and act differently.

Epic Hope offers bottom-up solutions that empower those experiencing poverty. Solutions that work.

  • Almost everyone agrees—the way we’re tackling poverty isn’t working. In fact, 81% of Americans are frustrated with the current approach.

    For too long, we’ve been stuck between two ideas: pour more money into programs that only ease the struggle, or step back entirely and hope people find their own way out.

    Neither has solved the problem.

    But what if there’s a better way? A way that empowers, restores dignity, and creates lasting change?

    At Epic Hope, we believe the answer isn’t in more band-aids or less involvement—it’s in real relationships, practical support, and a community that refuses to give up on its own.

  • Poverty isn’t just a lack of money—it’s a web of barriers that hold people back from the lives they were meant to live. Addiction, mental health struggles, criminal records, chronic joblessness, underperforming schools, and broken families can make stability feel out of reach. They’re real challenges faced by real people. And they don’t need pity. They need a way forward.

    At Epic Hope, we believe in people, not programs. Every person has unique gifts, talents, and the potential for transformation. But change doesn’t come from the top down—it happens neighbor to neighbor, hand in hand, one life at a time.

    Government programs have their place, but nothing is more powerful than a community that shows up for its own. Real change happens when we invest in each other, break down barriers, and refuse to let our neighbors fall through the cracks. This is how we break the cycle of poverty. This is how we build something better—together.

What is Epic Hope?

At Epic Hope, we believe change starts small—with a warm meal, a kind word, a door held open.

We’re not just another nonprofit; we’re neighbors, friends, and family, working side by side to build a future where no one is left behind. Poverty isn’t just about the lack of money—it’s about isolation, lost opportunities, and broken trust. But we see something different. We see potential in every person, the power of community, and the ripple effect of hope.

That’s why we’re here. Through free resources and real relationships, we’re breaking cycles, restoring families, and rewriting the story for our community. Because when we lift each other up, we all rise together.

Thank You To Our Community Partners

We know real change doesn’t happen in isolation. It takes all of us—businesses, foundations, nonprofits, and neighbors—working together toward a shared vision.

Our partners aren’t just supporters; they’re changemakers. Their commitment, generosity, and belief in a better future for all Tulsans, regardless of zip code, fuel everything we do. Together, we’re proving that hope isn’t just a feeling—it’s something we build, one partnership at a time.
