My best finds include shoes, bags, vintage blouses, costume jewelry, and once, a well-kept fox fur for $25. Location is handy. Cons: Service sucks. These are, of course, little old ladies volunteering through Good Shepherd hospital, but few of them seem to want to be there and most of them are plain mean. The store closes at 4 on weekdays - also a drag - and the sales "girls" start nagging you to bring your items up to the counter at about quarter after 3. They'll stare at you suspiciously no matter who you are - God help you if you're black and under 50. Odors of mothballs and occasionally faulty sewage lines permeate the store most days.

I wanted to share my experience donating to House of Hope so others know what to expect…read more I called ahead because I had a large amount of sewing and embroidery items to donate. I was honest that everything was in decent condition--not perfect, but still usable. I was told I could bring everything in. When I arrived and opened my trunk, the gentleman helping immediately made a snide comment: "You know we're not a refuge place, we're a thrift store." That was surprising and honestly off-putting, especially since I had already explained everything over the phone. I asked for a manager, and they pointed out that one of my sewing bags had dust on it and said they couldn't accept it in that condition. I understand having standards, but this felt excessive for donated goods. I guess if you had a Birkin bag but it had a little dust on it or wasn't in perfect condition, they wouldn't take that either. It left me wondering--are you a resale shop or a retail store? If the expectation is that everything must be near-perfect, that should be clearly communicated upfront. Otherwise, it feels unreasonable for a donation-based operation. I mean House of Hope is getting this stuff for FREE. I respect that they have policies and that the organization is volunteer-run, but the overall interaction came across as dismissive and overly picky. If I had known the expectations were this strict, I would have saved myself the trip and sold the items myself or donated elsewhere. Just something to keep in mind if you're planning to donate here.
