Our mission and community impact
At Hope For New Beginnings Foundation, Inc. in Lima, Ohio, we are dedicated to keeping usable goods out of landfills and placing them directly into the hands of neighbors in need. Through our thrift store, free store, and hands-on skill training, we create fresh opportunities for our entire community.
Saving goods from landfills for families in need
Too many quality household items end up discarded in dumpsters and local landfills. We actively collect donated furniture, decor, and essentials from homes and businesses across Lima, restoring and providing them free of charge or affordably to families starting anew. Every item saved represents a sustainable step forward for our environment and real support for a neighbor.
Teaching practical trade and job skills
We do not just restore furniture—we rebuild confidence and career opportunities. Our workshop teaches practical, hands-on trade skills including sanding, painting, structural repairs, maintenance, and reupholstery. Participants gain experience and craftsmanship that help prepare them for lasting employment in our community.
Join us by scheduling a donation pickup
Your pre-owned furniture and household goods can change someone's life today. We make giving back easy by offering convenient pickup services directly from your home or business in the Lima area. Call us at 234-352-8157 to arrange your pickup or coordinate a drop-off, and help us continue this vital work.
"I hate to see good things go into the garbage that could otherwise be passed along to a family in need. We are starting right here in Ohio with the hope of reaching far beyond."
