The HOPE Closet had a wonderful trip to Mahnomen Health Center Assisted Living on Friday June 12th. It was our last Spring/Summer trip and we went out with a bang! We helped 28 residents received over 200 items of clothing, books, jewelry, and puzzles. It was a special feeling to be surrounded by residents, caring staff and their family members. Each of us, Dawn, Jen, Hazel, and Kristi took away a special memory that will always be with us.
Its hard to believe the HOPE Closet made 6 trips to area nursing homes, and still managed to have so many nice items "left over". The support of our local rural communities and donations grew with every mile traveled. We were able to donate the remaining clothing to St. Michael's Church in Mahnomen. They will include the donations in a rummage sale in the fall.
Anyone wishing to volunteer or donate to this special program should contact the Thrift Store at 218-861-5700 after August 1st. We are limited in terms of space but not limited in our Dreams.
Hometown HOPE Inc Thrift Store will start taking fall clothing August 1st and resume the traveling HOPE Closet's visits in September.
