Basic furnishings can be a struggle for young families or elderly people on a fixed income so The HopeChest Organization provides household furniture, home appliances, and electronics to young families, single mothers, the elderly or disabled people in need.
The HopeChest was incorporated last June by Lisa Young and Lisa Arnold. It is a non-profit, non-religious outreach program located at the Seattle Revival Center in Newcastle.
The HopeChest provides furniture to people through agencies, including Communities in Schools of Renton, Vision House, The Compass Center, Habitat for Humanities, YWCA, Aging and Disabilities, The Salvation Army, Mercy Housing, and Providence Elder Place.
The organization stores its furniture in a 2,000 square foot warehouse space in Renton. High on the wish list is a larger space, possibly 5,000 square feet. If they had something larger, they could help twice as many people.
Donating furniture is done with a simple phone call. Call them at 425-204-8885 and they’ll pick up your stuff. Items must be in “like-new” condition. The organization is also accepting canned goods with a donation, which they give to The Salvation Army Food Bank in Renton. Check out their website at www.thehopechest.org for more information.
Have a great weekend!
