About this organization
In 1980, a group of citizens, some of whom lived with what was then considered a handicap, got together to advocate for and assist Yarmouth area residents who faced similar circumstances. Handicapped Organization Promoting Equality (HOPE) was created as a drop-in center to equip people living with challenges to better deal with day to day life issues. Over the years HOPE provided services such as a drop-in centre, tax preparation services, employment counselling, advocacy, and social events.
In time, it became very apparent that one area of major concern was the lack of affordable transportation, particularly for those who were confined to wheelchairs. In the late 1990s HOPE created Dial-A-Ride with a single used passenger van, to meet that need. We continue to serve that need today.
