Hope chest is my favorite place, along with the great prices hope chest offers so much more from doing a pantry that also includes pet food & helping out others and also giving back so much to the community!
We really appreciate that feedback. Thanks Mckenzie! That's a great summary of what we try to do here at the HOPE Chest. We strive to be more than 'just' a thrift store. We have so many programs that are designed to help those in need in our community. Every donation and every purchase helps us to meet the demands of each of our programs in helping our community.

Loved coming here took 4-5 trips about a month ago but got everything I needed for my new apartment. Bobby was great helping us with the big items to be packed in our vehicle even though he was quite annoyed by us by the end of those two day's lol! Other staff was very nice and inviting but also probably annoyed by how many times we came there lol! Overall good experience and love our furniture and other items we purchased!

I bought a couch and had it delivered. Jamie coordinated everything efficiently and was very friendly. Jeff and Danny delivered the couch, and maneuvered it up stairs and a very tight turn. They were so awesome, professional and pleasant. Will definitely return to the store. Great experience.
