Yes, we're still taking donations!
While Hope Outlet has closed, we are still operating our Thrift Distributing reuse/recycle program.
​
We have relocated our Donation Warehouse offsite. Please continue to support the restoration of Lives with your donations of clothing. We accept all seasons of men, women, and children's clothing. We accept hats, scarfs, coats, shirts, pants, dresses, belts, purses, backpacks, towels, sheets, blankets, socks, and new underwear.
​
Ways to donate are listed below.
As the weather gets colder, people experiencing homelessness need winter clothes to stay warm. If you have any extra coats, pants, tops, or other warm clothing you could spare, please consider donating them to help those in need through the colder months.
WE NEED WARM CLOTHING FOR WINTER
Winter is upon us. We are in great need of warm clothing for men, women, and children of all sizes. Please think about donating what you don't need anymore to LightHouse and The Mission.

Volunteers help sort clothing donations
When you donate clothing to HopeThrift, volunteers sort through it and stock closets for The Mission and LightHouse. Anyone who stays with either The Mission or LightHouse will be able to come and get what they need from the closet. Thank you for helping to provide for the community by donating to HopeThrift!
Pictured above are some volunteers from Giant who helped to sort clothing for The Mission and volunteers from Alcon helped to stock LightHouse's boutique for women and children.
