The Hope Chest is run primarily by volunteers who have built the shelving, sort dozens of cartons of new items each month and fill requests by local organizations. each week. If you would like to help in this worthwhile effort please let us know! We thank the Friends of the Carpenter and Vancouver Rotary  for buidling the shelves to store this merchandise.

To request items, nonprofit organizations, community agencies and church outreach programs must be registered with Gifts For Our Community. Interested organizations may complete the registration form and return it to Divine Consign. Individuals cannot make a request for these items. There is no charge to the organization or the clients that recive the merchandise.
