CREATING HOPE DONATION CENTER

BASIC NEEDS

Each year, the Creating Hope Donation Center serves thousands of individuals and families by providing basic everyday needs. These needs include food, hygiene products, dishes, educational materials, and furniture. In 2010, the Creating Hope Donation Center distributed $296,000 worth of items.

HOME SETUP NEEDS

In addition to meeting these basic needs, the Creating Hope Donation Center sets up housing for families that are enrolled in our resettlement programs. Last year, CCFW helped resettle 275 families by distributing include beds, dressers, couches, televisions, kitchen tables and chairs. Donations to the Creating Hope Donation Center directly serve the client as well as reducing agency expenses.
