Guidelines for Receiving Donations

1. Organizations must complete The Hope Chest Organization Agreement to receive donations.

2. A Hope Chest Request Form must be completed either faxed to 360-695-6466 or delivered to Divine Consign.  Request Forms are available at the project’s space at 904 Main Street and on http://www.giftsforourcommunity.org under “Hope Chest.”

3. Donations are provided only to organizations that have signed the Organization Agreement for distribution to their clients.  Individuals are not eligible to receive donations directly from The Hope Chest. 

4. To participate in The Hope Chest project, organizations agree to not sell, raffle or auction any of the donated items and agree to prohibit their staff and volunteers from taking donated items for personal use.

5. Persons picking up donations must be able to carry (at least) 10-15 pound bags or boxes up a flight of stairs from the program’s basement location.  You must bring the help you need to carry boxes to your car.

7. The Hope Chest cannot guarantee consistency of items in stock.
