We need used clothing. Can you help?
At the Hope for Healing.Org mission center there is 3 separate things that we do with used clothing.
#1 - We give used clothing for free upon referral to those who need it. Beneficiaries have been victims of domestic violence, homeless and people who are in a chronic poverty situation.
#2 - Some used clothing is sold in our eBay store periodically or at one of our yard sale fundraisers. The url is http://stores.ebay.com/hopeforhealingorg Proceeds help us pay expenses (like rent which we always need help with).
#3 - Used clothing that is not usable or overstock is sold at a low bulk rate. This helps with expenses. The used clothing is then distributed on a secondary market. Much of it goes to 3rd world countries to provide affordable clothing. Some of these places include Belize, Haiti and African nations.
Clothing may be brought to the mission center at any time. If we are open, we will gladly take it and help you unload it. On sunny days, it may be left on the front porch.
The very best day to drop off used clothing is on Saturdays. This is when we usually have help to unload your vehicle. We do not have paid staff at the Hope for Healing.Org mission center. Everyone here helps because they want to make a difference. Saturdays seem to be the days that most people have free.
In addition to used clothing, we also accept used shoes (no high heels or boots), purses, belts, baseball caps and the like. These are very important for developing countries. Pumps and shoes with heels are not accepted. There is very little use for these items in the rain forest or on dirt roads.
If you are in the area, please come by and see us. We will happily show you around and answer questions about our program. Speakers are available for your next group event. Just contact us. We'll be glad to set it up.
Please bring used clothing to our mission center at 3130 W. Old Andrew Johnson Hwy., Strawberry Plains, TN 37871. For more information email admin@hopeforhealing.org
We thank you and our clients thank you for your used clothing help!
