Who we are and What we do
Since our beginning in 2024, The Hope Closet has provided support for hundreds of people living in local Section 8 housing in southern Wake County, as well as many others facing crisis situations due to fire loss, homelessness, poverty, or domestic violence.
For those we have served, we have provided clothing, beds, furniture, clean towels, linens, household supplies, cleaning products, food, baby items, kitchenware, Bibles, Easter baskets, Christmas gifts for children, and so much more. We have hugged, laughed, cried, and prayed with many of those families.
We differ a little from some of the other wonderful local charities. We are not a place to shop. Instead, we meet people where they are, in both location and life. We try to intentionally connect with families, understand their needs, and deliver items directly to them when lack of transportation is a factor.
We value the items we gift, not just as things that will meet a physical need, but as a conversation, a smile, a hug, a prayer, and a way to connect with someone in our community who is struggling and may need that connection just as much, if not more, than the item itself.
We believe in the deep personal joy that comes with serving others. Therefore we aim to provide community service opportunities for all ages and backgrounds so we can create a community that loves and serves each other well.
We believe we rise by lifting others. Please consider supporting our efforts so we can continue our mission to strengthen our community by lifting our neighbors.
“Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.”
“Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.”
