Donations to New Hope For Families will directly benefit families in our community navigating the crisis of homelessness. Our staff members work with families to make sure they have necessary essentials, food, and the support they need to move from homelessness to stable housing.
Donation deliveries are accepted most weekdays 9am–4pm. Please call our office at (812) 334-9840 in advance to arrange delivery.
