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.

HAPPY FALL!

Fall is upon us. We are in great need of warm clothing for men, women, and children of all sizes. As you go through your fall clothing, please think about donating what you don't need anymore to LightHouse and The Mission.
