Hope Loves Company, Inc. (HLC) is the only nonprofit in the United States with the unique mission to provide emotional and educational support to children, teenagers, and young adults who have or have had a loved one battling ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) or Lou Gehrig’s disease. HLC was founded in 2012 and we are located right here in Pennington, NJ.
Approximately 30,000 Americans are living with ALS and it’s estimated that 85% of those people have children. Often, children of ALS patients become caregivers for their loved ones, bathing, dressing, feeding, and caring for their parent or grandparent battling ALS. There are several local families struggling with ALS at this time.
Hope Loves Company is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and donations are tax deductible. Our EIN number is 20-8418402. Proceeds from our fourth annual Night of Hope fundraiser will benefit our free programs and resources for families affected by ALS including Camp HLC, a 3-day weekend retreat, Hugs of Hope care packages, Family Fun Days, educational materials and resources, and more.

Mission Statement
Hope Loves Company is the only nonprofit in the United States dedicated to providing emotional and educational support to children and young adults who have or have had a loved one battling ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) or Lou Gehrig's disease.
Description
There are approximately 30,000 people in the United States who live with ALS and it is estimated that of those 30,000, 85% have children.
Hope Loves Company was founded by Jodi O'Donnell-Ames after she realized the lack of resources available to her children, who all lost a parent to ALS before the age of 12. Hope Loves Company supports children and families affected by ALS with free programs and resources, including Camp HLC, Hugs of Hope care packages, Family Fun Days, educational materials and children's books, Teen Retreats, and more. Our premier program, Camp HLC, is a 3-day weekend retreat where children and families enjoy recreational activities such as swimming, canoeing, and fishing, while also learning coping skills and receiving much-needed support. All of our programs are provided to families affected by ALS at no cost.
Since its founding, Jodi and her team have hosted nineteen Camp HLCs across the United States and helped countless children and families. In 2018, HLC delivered 50+ Hugs of Hope care packages to children affected by ALS. The reach of Hope Loves Company is nationwide and we host Camp HLC in NJ, MA, IN, CA, FL, and IL.
