Restored 61 is our gently used clothing ministry that is available to families and people of all ages. All items (other than undergarments) are donated by our community. Because we all have something to offer, we love when our families bring their gently used outgrown items to be made available to others.
Our goal (or vision) is to provide high-quality, clean and comfortable gently used clothing to our neighbors empowering them to present themselves with dignity and confidence. We believe in responsible consumption and minimizing waste by repurposing donated clothing and accessories. Interested in donating to Restored 61? Click here to learn more. |

The Hope Center is launching the Everybody Eats initiative, a mobile food trailer designed to ensure that no one goes hungry. The trailer will visit different locations during lunchtime, offering hot, nutritious meals to all—regardless of their ability to pay. This program is dedicated to making sure that everyone has access to a warm meal, while also raising awareness about food insecurity in our community.
How It Works: - Affordable Meals: Enjoy a meal at a suggested donation price. The goal is to keep meals affordable for everyone, ensuring that no one is turned away due to financial limitations. - Pay It Forward: You can also choose to “Pay It Forward” by donating towards someone else’s meal, helping others in need and fostering a sense of community. Raising Awareness: In addition to serving meals, the food trailer will participate in local community events to educate and engage the public about food insecurity and its impact on the region. These events provide an opportunity to learn, share, and contribute to the cause. Get Involved:
