Re-Sale Shop

Shop includes clothing, furniture, books,
housewares, and some appliances. Qualified clients are given a $15 voucher for clothing and/or other necessary household items for up to 3 months.
Donations are accepted during regular hours or by appointment all other times.

School Supplies
Each year in August, school supplies are purchased by H.I.S. Ministries and distributed to clients with school age children. Monetary donations are greatly needed to purchase items.
Only the basics are provided, e.g.
paper, pencils, pens, notebooks, crayons, glue, folders, and backpacks
This is not everything required but we feel that it will lighten the burden of back to school shopping for parents and guardians.
