Each child receives a week’s supply of clothing that includes a package of new socks, underwear, pajamas, a pair of shoes, and coat. The number of other items given out such as toiletries, school supplies, accessories, and equipment varies

What if a child leaves my home?
Any item given to a child by Hope’s Closet should remain with the child in the event the child leaves your home. We would appreciate it if you could return larger items such as baby swings, cribs or toys to Hope’s Closet if they don't go home with a child, when they are no longer used, and still in good condition.
