Your donation of clothing helps the homeless! Did you know that Hope Ministries accepts donations of clothing of any kind throughout the year? In addition to providing clothing free to those in need through our King’s Closet program and selling low-cost clothing in our Hope Bargain Center. We also bale excess clothing—much of which is then sent to developing countries. So no matter what happens to your shirts, pants, jackets, shoes, etc., once you donate them to Hope Ministries, you can know you’re making a difference!!

That said, we invite you to donate clothing to our ministry! Or, perhaps you’d consider coordinating a clothing drive for your church, business or organization. If this is something you’re interested in, we welcome you to give us a call at (515) 265-7272 or e-mail info@hopeiowa.org.

Clothing donations can be dropped off at our Hope Bargain and Community Outreach Center at 4950 NE 12th Avenue in Pleasant Hill.

Donation Pick-Up Ministry.  We are looking for individuals or groups that would be willing to assist and/ or pick up donations on Tuesday afternoons starting at 3:30 p.m. and Saturday mornings from 9:00 a.m.- noon.
