Hope Ministries Thrift Store

Hope Ministries Thrift operates two thrift stores in the Des Moines area, offering reasonably priced new and used clothing, shoes, furniture, household goods, and more. As a nonprofit initiative, the thrift stores support Hope Ministries’ mission to serve men, women, and children who are homeless, hungry, abused, or addicted through the provision of meals, shelter, and recovery services. Donations are sorted and cleaned by staff and volunteers, with some items distributed directly to shelter guests and recovery residents while others are sold in the stores. The stores accept various donations including furniture, electronics, toys, games, and household items, with revenue generated from sales directly funding the organization’s food, shelter, and recovery programs. The thrift stores are located at 4640 Merle Hay Road in Urbandale and 500 East Army Post Road in Des Moines.
