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.

• School Supplies - On Aug. 7th, 2020, we are planning a Back2School Back Pack and Supplies give-away.  We are currently collecting school supplies & funds to purchase school supplies. Contact Jessica to see how you can partner with us OR just drop by your school supply donation today.
• 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.

Our Donation & Processing Center Hours for drop-offs | Monday through Saturday - 9am to 5pm.
