Garments of Praise

Garments of Praise exists to clothe those in need while preserving human dignity and instilling hope. We would like to leverage our resources to generate funding for both global and local mission.

We function as a beautiful thrift shop run by kind volunteers. Those in need will receive free clothing (based on referrals), while the general public may shop and rest assured that their spending will be invested in life-giving non-profit ministries.

We believe God’s desire is to give every person the garments of praise in place of the spirit of heaviness (Isaiah 61: 3-4). As you invest in this ministry receive these words of Jesus afresh: “Whatever you have done for the least of these you have done unto Me.”

Questions & Answers

How can I get a referral?
If you or someone you know is in need, a referral for a clothing voucher can be obtained after one of our Sunday or Wednesday evening services at Hope Springs Christian Fellowship. A referral can also be obtained at several social work centers throughout our region.

How can I donate?
Currently we are not accepting donations outside of our local church due to an overabundance of items at our current location and storage room. We may begin to accept donations again in the future if our inventory begins to diminish.
