The weather is turning colder and Hope Chest needs your help! We have a very limited amount of children's clothing for the fall/winter (long sleeve shirts, pants, sweatshirts), winter coats and jackets, bath towels and king and queen sized blankets.

Donations of these items can be new or gently used. We accept donations Monday-Thursday from 9:30-12 at 1400 Mentor Avenue Suite 3. Have items to donate but can't make it at this time? Send us a message!

Thank you Painesville United Methodist Church for supporting Hope Chest!

Did you know we are a year round collection site for The Hope Chest in Painesville? The Hope Chest collects new and gently used clothing, bath towels, sheets, blankets, coats, shoes, and other small household items and offers them free to people in need. Donations can be made during our business hours (generally Mon-Thurs 9-4 and some Friday mornings - call ahead at 440-354-3642) or between/after worship services on Sunday mornings (9:30-10am or 11-11:30am) in our Mission Hallway. If you need assistance unloading your vehicle please contact the church office ahead of time so we can ensure someone will be able to help you. At this time of year, need for winter coats and boots increases - so as you are cleaning out unwanted items in usable condition please consider passing these along to people in need by donating to the Hope Chest. Thank you for your generosity!
