DONATION GUIDELINES
Hope's Closet is Part of the Points of Hope Bend Chapter, partnering with Point Hope a volunteer tax-exempt non-profit organization. Hope's Closet was formed to provide aid to the Foster Care Community by supplying clothing and other items free of charge to Children in Foster Care. We believe that children in Foster care should live as normal a life as possible experiencing love, respect, and a kinder side of life while in their foster care home environment. By providing these children with new or gently used and up-to-date clothing, and supplies, we can help raise their self-esteem so they can feel good about themselves regardless of their unfortunate situation. Your kindness and generosity will make a significant positive impact on their young lives. THANK YOU!
