What is Hope For The Day?

Hope For The Day is a Chicago-based non-profit that does proactive suicide prevention through outreach and mental health education. To learn more, click here.

Hope For The Day was created to honor all the friends and family members who had died by suicide. Founded in 2011, HFTD started in Chicago music venues doing outreach. Since those humble beginnings, we have evolved and grown to pioneer programming that we call Proactive Prevention. Through outreach and mental health education, we strive to empower early intervention on mental health challenges and disrupt the highest risk factors for suicide.

Today HFTD is a team made up of a rich spectrum of identities and backgrounds that bring understanding, sensitivity, and appreciation to the impact of mental health within numerous intersections and cultural contexts. Our team is especially unique for being a mental health non-profit run by a majority of individuals with lived experience. We are a squad fervently dedicated to growing and pressing the proactive message each day. We are all in this together, passionately dedicated to letting others know and understand why IT’S OK NOT TO BE OK!

Who owns the coffee shop?

Hope For The Day owns and operates Sip of Hope as a social enterprise to financially support our proactive suicide prevention and mental health education programming. When Sip of Hope first opened, we partnered with Dark Matter Coffee, who helped us in many ways, guiding, educating, and training us to get to the point where we were able to step out on our own in October of 2020.

We continue to serve tasty coffee and break the silence one cup at a time, with the help of many incredible community members.
