The Hope Chest is an upscale resale shop specializing in quality women’s and children’s clothing.

Founded in 1994, The Hope Chest is a not-for-profit organization whose sole beneficiary is Pillars’ Constance Morris House (CMH). The Constance Morris House is a shelter for abused women and their children. The CMH provides physical and psychological safety to women and children who are fleeing abusive relationships.

We accept donations of gently used women’s clothing, shoes, purses, and jewelry. By selling these items in our store we are able to donate funds to the CMH and make possible some of the many benefits provided for the residents of the shelter, such as free living quarters, meals, counseling, therapy, health care and advocacy. In addition, The Hope Chest provides clean, comfortable clothing at no cost to the shelter residents.

The Hope Chest is always looking for friendly volunteers. You can join our Shop Volunteer Team for a 3-hour shift once or twice a month. Grab a friend and make it a monthly outing. Volunteers work under the direction of the Store Manager to sort, steam and hang donated clothing. Morning or afternoon shifts are available during the week or on Saturdays. Please stop by the store and pick up a volunteer application from the Store Manager.
