Even a Small Donation Goes a Long Way

Current Needs in the Community

Our community has needs. Plain and simple. The HOPE Chest mission is to meet these needs daily. We have compiled a list of items needed to help The HOPE Chest meet our community needs.

Food Items - We give a lot of food away during the week. To meet demands we rely on donations from great people like yourself to keep the food items rolling in. Some of our food items have an expiration date that dictates we get these items out quickly, meaning we rely on continuous donations.
Clothing - Second to food, our clothing supply is in constant need of replenishment. We serve a diverse range of people who require many different sizes and shapes.

Furniture Items - Furniture is a staple to our store. Our stock of furniture is constantly moving, therefore requiring a large need for donations. We take all types of furniture including, but not limited to: Kitchen/Dining Sets, Living Room, Bedroom, etc.
Business Furniture - The HOPE Chest supplies many of our local businesses with furniture at a reasonable cost. Saving them time and money on what would be an expensive purchase.

The Latest Happenings

Back-to-School is Creeping up on us!

The HOPE Chest takes pride in making sure students in our area are ready for when they go back to school. We could not do this without the help of our great community!

During the month of July, The HOPE Chest is accepting donations of backpacks, writing utensils, paper, glue, rulers, plus many other items to help the parents in our community send their children back to school.

You may drop off at our donation center during regular business hours if you wish to make a generous donation. More details will be presented later this week!

THANK YOU from all of us at The HOPE Chest!

Our birthday week was a huge success and we could not have done it all without all of our fine customers, volunteers, and staff!
