Opportunity Details

Sort Children's Items

Hopes Closet volunteers work together to sort, clean, and package children's clothing, shoes, blankets, toys, games and books. These "Bundles of Hope" are free to families in need in our community. Recipients of the Bundles also include foster families, local agencies supporting women and children, as well as any individual or family who needs children's clothing and supplies.
Volunteer duties include: sort donated clothing, create Bundles of Hope, sort and clean toys, games and puzzles, sort books, respond to Bundles orders by phone, hand out Bundles to clients, and assist in our resale store.
Volunteers with some proficiency in Spanish are needed.


The mission of Hopes Closet is to provide gently used clothing and necessities to children and families in need. Each child receives a Bundle of Hope containing clothing, shoes and age-appropriate books and toys. Our goal is to provide these items in a dignified manner. 

Volunteers make it possible for Hopes Closet to reach our targeted community: Foster children, family shelters, Early Head Start, public health nurses, social workers, local hospitals, Pregnancy Resource Center, Siena House, Janus Perinatal, Center for Farmworker Families, and more.
