On behalf of homeless youth and youth aging out of foster care who will find refuge, love, and nurturing at local nonprofits like Villages of Hope for years to come, thank you so very much for your generous donation to Treasures for Hope.

If an item does not meet an immediate need within the charity, we may sell it in our charity store. Treasures for Hope was created to bring awareness and support to our community for homeless youth and youth aging out of foster care.
Treasures for Hope sincerely appreciates your generous support including donations of usable and resalable:
Furniture
Artwork

Clothing and shoes
Antiques
Handbags
Jewelry
