Hope’s Closet

About

Hope’s Closet is a social enterprise thrift store owned and operated by New Life Center which serves two crucial purposes for our work with domestic violence survivors.

First, every child and adult seeking refuge at New Life Center’s emergency shelter has access to all the clothing and furnishings offered at the store completely free of charge. This is to ensure families’ basic needs are met while they are residing in shelter and upon their exit from our facility.

Second, all proceeds from Hope’s Closet are used to support New Life Center’s shelter operations.

History of Hope’s Closet

Hope’s Closet started in the early 90s, when the community brought in so many donations of in-kind goods that New Life Center needed an additional space for the storage and sorting of donated items. After renting a vacant retail space to store and sort these items, New Life Center eventually turned it into a thrift store called Hope’s Closet.
