The Hope House of Central Illinois serves as a place of solace for parents and families dealing with the loss of a loved one. Construction on the Hope House home is moving along, with electricity just recently installed and Board Member Monica Wamsley is looking to promote an upcoming event that eases families' needs, providing basic living essentials in clothing and cleaning supplies.

The Clothing and Cleaning Supply Drive will be held on Saturday, May 25th from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at David Memorial Christian Church in Taylorville. Wamsley says donation collection was successful so now families in need can stop by and pick up what is needed.

Kim Brune has seen strong growth in her collection of donated clothing items, stored in a closet at Davis Memorial. Wamsley says Brune has outgrown this space, so much so that Brune has a winter and summer selection of donated clothes.

Wamsley says volunteers will be available the day of the Clothing and Cleaning Supply  Drive to assist in getting the proper sizes and types of items for anyone in need.
