Churches
HOPE For All helps churches remain faithful to God's calling by offering outreach and support opportunities to those struggling in our community.

We welcome your prayerful consideration to participate in one of our projects:
Saturday Sorting
Groups of 8 people can help us process donations in our warehouse on Saturdays between 9 a.m. to noon. These donations could be clothing or household items that we will give to our clients or non-essential donations that will be sold in our yard sale. Saturday Sorting helps us to stay on top of the large number of donations that we receive each week. Contact Us to Volunteer!
Number of Volunteers: 8 people
When: Saturdays
Time: 9 am to noon.
Delivering HOPE
Join us as we pick up donations and deliver furniture directly to our clients. Experience firsthand meeting and serving our adult clients and seeing the excitement of the children as we turn a house into a home. Delivering HOPE is the perfect opportunity for an outreach ministry of your church. Lifting required.
Number of Volunteers: Up to 5
When: Saturdays
Time: 8:30 am to noon.
Supporting HOPE
- Your financial donations can directly fund A Bed to Call My Own, our initiative that gets kids and adults who are sleeping on the floor into a new and healthy bed. Each year, we give away about 500 beds. Just $120 buys a twin mattress, box spring, and frame. A weekend poor box collection or special offering are some of the ways that your church can donate to this Supporting HOPE project.
- Sponsor a collection of new socks and new underwear for our HOPE clients. Any time of the year is the right time for giving.
"Words can't express how grateful I am. I am a single mother with 5 children. I work hard every day and try to stay positive. I felt bad that my children had no beds. Then HOPE For All gave me hope..."
—Gloria
