What to do with Items that we don’t accept.

We partner with CAPA’s Closet and Goodwill so that our clients are able to shop at no charge!  The Bargain Box, Church Mouse, Calhoun Station and St. Francis Thrift Shop provides support to Hopeful Horizons through grants. We urge you to take your used clothing and toy donations to those organizations and know that you are still helping Hopeful Horizons assist victims. The list below includes examples of some of our most needed items.
