Hands of Hope Outreach Center, a program of the Cape Cod Council of Churches, operates a thrift shop and accepts donated physical goods from the community. The organization specifically welcomes clothing, shoes, household items, dishes, glassware, jewelry, linens, bric-a-brac, books and other small reusable goods. The outreach center also operates a food pantry, but the thrift shop provides a separate reuse outlet for household and personal items that may be useful when executors are sorting estate contents.

Donations are accepted during posted open hours, and storage capacity or current needs may affect what the shop can receive. Larger furniture and other bulky items are not specifically listed among routine accepted goods, so those should be confirmed before transport. Proceeds and donated goods support the Council of Churches outreach work in the Cape Cod community. Save a trip! Call Hands of Hope Outreach Center Thrift Shop first to confirm hours and that they are accepting what you’re bringing.
