Donation FAQ

Donate to the Closet

Your gently used items can help clothe a neighbor, furnish a home, or support a healing journey.

When you donate to the Community Closet, you're doing more than clearing space—you're making space for hope, dignity, and connection in someone else's life. Every item on our racks and shelves becomes part of a bigger story, helping fund New Hope’s counseling services and supporting local families through compassionate care.

  • We gratefully accept clean, gently used items you’d be proud to pass along to a friend or neighbor in our community.

    Your care in preparing donations not only helps us offer dignity and quality to every shopper—it also expedites the process of getting goods to the sales floor, allowing us to steward staff and volunteer time wisely and operate an efficient, welcoming shop for all.

  • Please bring donations to the rear entrance of the store and ring the doorbell. A team member will meet you to receive your items.

    Donation Hours:
    🕚 Monday–Friday: 11:00 AM – 4:00 PM
