New information about donations
Building 2 Donation guidelines
- Our primary focus for donations is items that are meeting the true “needs” of our clients. Our rule of thumb is that we want to be respectful to our clients. If an item is worn or so old that you would not have it in your home, please do not donate it.
- “Needs” include microwaves and any small appliances as long as they are clean and in good working order.
- Any items such as dishes, silverware, pots and pans, utensils and cookware
- Furniture as long as it is not worn or stained
- Mattresses have to be absolutely free from all stains and dirt. We accept mattresses, but box springs and frames only if the mattress is included
- Clothing should be recently laundered. We have a need for all clothing, but especially men’s and boys’ clothing since they typically wear out their clothing, so we receive fewer donations.
- Due to limitations in lifting capacities of our volunteers, staff and clients, we cannot accept any items over 50 pounds without prior approval.
- We absolutely cannot accept entertainment centers and heavy televisions.
- We are currently not accepting large appliances.
- We can only accept limited yard sale extras. Our clients often find joy in these items, but we do not have the space to accept all that is sometimes brought. For now, we are limiting yard sale donations to what will fit in a single SUV. Items need to be functional and clean. Hope staff, volunteers and clients thank you for your donation. We could not support our clients without your continued support.
During the winter of 24’/25′, please check for closings on Channel 9, 12, or 19 or their websites.

New Clients
All NEW clients that are either new or those who have not received services at Hope for several years should stop at the stop sign half-way up the drive and wait until someone comes to give you further instruction.
The Hope Emergency Program is a 501 (c) (3), social service outreach program. Every week food, clothing and household items are distributed to an average of 250 families. In addition to the weekly distribution, a special effort is made to help families recover from personal disasters such as home fires and floods. Our services are open to residents of Adams, Brown, Clinton, and Highland counties.
Some of our families need our services for a short time in order to recover from a loss of a job or personal disaster. Many of our families need more long-term assistance to make their income stretch to cover their necessities. Everyone who comes for food and clothing receives it.
Contact us if you have any questions about our program and eligibility.
