Stable Homes Make Stronger Communities. Let’s Build Them Together.
It is often the people with the most intense needs do not have transportation or knowledge about the resources available to them, and do not have the capacity to stop and jump through hoops to get the help they need.
Therefore, we meet people where they are in location and life. By serving with The Hope Closet, you are not only helping us to place a needed physical item in someone's hand, you are meeting people in their hardest moments, showing them they are seen, valued and sharing hope.
We are rooted in the deep personal joy that comes from serving others. Therefore, we aim to provide community service opportunities for ALL AGES and backgrounds so we can foster a community that loves and serves each other well.
The Hope Closet is happy to provide documentation to fulfill community service requirements for middle and high school students assisting with deliveries alongside a parent or seeking other community service opportunities.
Outreach Team
Join The Hope Closet Outreach Team and help bring essential household items directly to families in our community. Outreach opportunities often bring together 6–10 volunteers to hand-deliver pre-packed bags of everyday essentials, such as hygiene products and cleaning supplies, to residents of local Section 8 and subsidized housing communities.
A bag of essentials can help meet an immediate household need. Delivering it in person meets a different need by allowing us the opportunity to show care, build connection, and remind our neighbors that their community is here for them.
Sign up to receive notifications about upcoming outreach opportunities. Gather your church small group, bring family or friends, and serve side by side. Groups of all ages are welcome, making this a meaningful way for people to share their time and care for others together.
Deliver Essentials. Share Hope.
Move Team
Join The Hope Closet Move Team to receive notifications about opportunities to deliver essential household items to individuals and families facing hardship. Your time and effort can bring comfort to a home where there may be no furniture to sit on or a bed for every child.
Deliveries are made to Fuquay-Varina, Angier, Holly Springs, Willow Spring, Apex (27539), and Raleigh (27603). A delivery opportunity normally takes 1-2 hours, depending on the number of deliveries that day.
This hands-on role requires the ability to lift 50 pounds or more. This volunteer opportunity is great for fitness groups, men’s fellowship groups, and even high school students in need of volunteer hours.

Care Team
Join The Hope Closet Care Team and support local individuals and families through simple, meaningful acts of care. You can arrange pre-made bags of essential items for delivery, write notecards with prayers or encouraging words to include in the bags, organize a meal train for a neighbor in need, or gather with friends or Church members to pray for specific families in need.
Even from home, your time and thoughtfulness can help someone facing a difficult season feel seen, cared for, and less alone. This is a flexible way to serve and is especially suited to school-age children, families, and individuals with physical limitations.

I literally just prayed and told God I know he’s going to provide me with all I’m supposed to have for myself and my kids so we are all comfortable. As a single mom, I am doing the best I can and you all are like Angels to me because I couldn’t have done any of this any time soon without your help.
Thank you. I’m literally in tears…happy tears.
