HOPEfully Yours is a way for HOPE Center to fully utilize all of the donations we receive for the maximum benefit for our clients. All donations are delivered to the Center at 1251 North Broadway. Volunteers sort donations and stock the warehouse clothing room with items for clients. However, some items like draperies, formal gowns, dry clean only and “overflow” clothing that can’t be used directly for clients are sold at HOPEfully Yours.
The revenue generated from the shop is used to fund the HOPE Prenatal/OB Clinic and to purchase the milk, fruit, meat and other perishable items that are included in food packages for clients. In 2008, 61 healthy babies were born through our clinic.
At the HOPE Center, an average of 750 people receive food every month. Our expenses for food are about $6200 each month. This is in addition to the non-perishable and canned food items we receive from regular food drives.
HOPEfully Yours makes it possible for HOPE Center to continue to offer these existing programs and services and to develop new programs.
