Food Vendors

Due to limitations, Gifts of Hope cannot guarantee space for all applicants. Consideration will be given based on event needs, space, amount of duplicated products and required criteria of the event. 

For smaller events, vendors are individually solicited based on desired menu items, proximity to park, and previous experience.

• Submit an application, found on this page.
   

Craft Vendors

Vendors must feature hand-made items for display and sale. All items to be sold must be the created work of the vendor. Commercially manufactured items, kits and/or items not handcrafted or designed by the vendor may not be sold. Vendors must adhere to the Craft Vendor Guidelines and Policies. Vendors interested in participating must complete an application, found on this page. 

 

Commercial Vendors

We are no longer accepting commercial vendor applications for any event. Exceptions may be made if the proposed product(s) directly relate to the event theme. Please do not submit a craft vendor form in anticipation of participating. For more information, please contact us.
