Hope Tank is the passion project of owner, Erika E. Righter. Erika is a social worker, mom, wife, and social entrepreneur. Erika’s experience as a social worker was instrumental in her desire to start Hope Tank.
Hope Tank opened it’s doors in February of 2012, and started off selling handmade products by local artists who donated a portion of their sales to a charity of their choosing. We have expanded our inventory, to include products from all over the world, from companies that are philanthropic and environmentally responsible. Every purchase in the shop will have impact in the world, and we want that impact to inspire people to action.
In addition to running Hope Tank, Erika works in the community to support youth emancipating out of the foster care system, and has a personal commitment to educating the public about children and families affected by foster care.
