The Hope Resource Network (HRN) is a loose, but significant network of individuals and organizations dedicated to the mission of HISG, which is connecting resources with needs. Because my business background is in logistics, the network consists of over 50 warehouses (third party logistics providers) I have developed relationships with over the past 35 years. If you are an NGO or ministry that has had to turn down donations or other opportunities because you did not have the warehouse space to receive it or the funds to transport across the country, or would simply like to expand your logistics capacity contact me and we be able to assist you. I’ve attached a Powerpoint presentation describing the HRN.

Do you have a select group of people that you are already working with or are you looking to expand the people within your network?

The answer to that question is yes, and yes. We have relationships with a number of resource suppliers, in addition to logistics suppliers; for food, medical equipment, etc. But we can always expand that supply base to serve the needs of NGOs working worldwide that we are exposed to. I believe we have just scratched the surface of what can be done.

I have a group of businessmen in Singapore interested in starting such a network. I would be interested in hearing about your expience and learning from you. Perhaps this week at the starfish conf in SC?

John; Look forward to talking with you!
