We accept clothing items for infants through teens. Please make sure all donated items are in very good condition and free of stains, tears, missing buttons, etc. We want our recipients to feel good about the clothes they wear and the items they receive. We are not able to accept donations of used car seats or cribs. If you have questions about items you want to donate, please reach out to us. Our current needs lists can be found on our Facebook page.
Monetary donations are also accepted and are used to purchase car seats, cribs, new socks and underwear, diapers, and other needed items. Checks may be made out to “FUMC” with “Hope House” in the memo line and turned in to the church office, or through our online giving portal and designating “Hope House” in the notes section.
