Hope's Closet

Some people come to Faces with only the clothes they have on, starting completely over, while others may have been restricted from purchasing clothing for themselves by their abuser. Others have their clothing taken as evidence after a forensic exam. This is why we have Hope’s Closet at our Center. Individuals get to “shop” Hope’s Closet for a new outfit, all the way down to socks and underwear.

We welcome donations of clothing (new with tags*) of all sizes, for all seasons, and for all genders. Undergarments, accessories, and shoes are also appreciated! Gift cards to major retailers are great too so we can shop for specific sizes or items the closet is missing.

You can also shop our Amazon Wishlist or Shortage Wishlist! Please reach out to meg@facesofhopefoundation.org with any questions.

*Why New Clothes?

Most of the individuals that come to Faces of Hope Foundation have almost no access to money because abusers frequently restrict their access to finances. The clothes they do have are often worn out and threadbare. Having the opportunity to pick out new clothes with tags is an empowering experience for many and can also be incredibly emotional. Don’t underestimate what a new outfit can do for a person’s outlook on life.

Gift Cards

We often need to shop for clothing to offer greater selection of sizes or seasonal items. Gift cards to major retailers such as Target, Kohl’s, Walmart, etc. are very helpful because we can quickly get items that may be missing from the Closet.
