Hopeful Treasures Resale Boutique is a new resale store on the mountain. It's mission is to offer shelter, love and hope to the moms and babies of Hope House Maternity Home.
Many things make this boutique stand out, most notably their partnership with Scottsdale Bible Church. Once a quarter, the church provides a semi in their parking lot and people bring their secondhand items. Scottsdale is a mecca for designer labels and high-end home furnishings, so not surprisingly, each shipment contains designer clothing, quality furniture, toys, decorator items and more.
Hopeful Treasures Resale Boutique also houses a unique program called Double Blessing Gift Baskets. These baskets are created by the young moms of Hope House Maternity Home. They are beautiful and full of name-brand items like Gold Canyon candles and Avon. The young moms earn a percentage which goes into their savings, and the rest goes toward the home. The residents of Hope House also volunteer at the boutique to gain retail experience and job training.
Hopeful Treasures Boutique and Hope House Maternity Home is a part of Living Hope Women's Centers which consists of three crisis pregnancy centers in Show Low, Springerville and Whiteriver. This ministry offers pre-natal and parenting education, a fatherhood program, pregnancy testing and ultrasounds as well as housing through the maternity home. It is a privately supported Christian ministry, and all the services are free.
Hopeful Treasures Resale Boutique always needs volunteers. They also need donations -
