Our Self-Sustaining Model
Where Commerce Serves Community Empowerment
How We Fund Our Mission
GHOP Community Development operates a unique self-sustaining model where the lower level businesses (boutiques and Big Mama's Café) are owned and operated by the organization - not rented to outside parties.
Profits Fund Our Programs
All profits from our businesses directly fund nonprofit programs on the upper level, including housing support, job training, mental health services, and performing arts programs.
This approach ensures that GHOP Shops is not just seen as a business, but as a shared vision for a thriving community where every purchase supports our mission of community empowerment.
