Hope to Home Ministry (H2H) is a Christian-based ministry whose mission is to collect new or gently used donated home goods and to purchase items such as mattresses and pillows, and then deliver these essential home furnishings to displaced or formerly homeless individuals and families who have recently secured housing. H2H transforms their empty living space into a comfortable “home,” extending the love and hope of Jesus through delivering provisions, praying with recipients before leaving, and personally giving them a Bible. H2H follows up after delivery to be sure recipients are already connected to a church or, if they are not, offering contact information on nearby churches.
To donate new or gently used household items, click the link below and fill out the form. When you submit your contact information, you will receive a call to arrange pick-up for large items or give you information about dropping off smaller items at the warehouse. Items most needed are: dressers, coffee tables, small kitchen tables, kitchen chairs, couches, side tables, stuffed chairs, floor and table lamps, and other home items like pots and pans, cooking utensils, dishes, silverware, and small appliances.
