Donation Pickup Service

Do you have used clothing, small appliances, and other household items you'd like to donate?  

HOPE’s Donation Pickup service provides free home pickups of good quality used clothing and small household items in Northern California (Santa Clara, San Mateo, and Alameda Counties) and Southern California (Los Angeles and Orange Counties). Donation items are then resold at our HOPE Station store in Fremont (39418 Fremont Blvd), or at the chain of Savers thrift stores throughout California. Store proceeds directly benefit HOPE clients with job training, job placement and independent living services. Your donation is tax deductible.
