The Beacon of Hope Men’s Shelter operates “Second Chance”, a unique and convenient place to shop. We carry a large variety of items with unheard-of prices. The Second Chance Thrift Store helps us to foster our ministry, strengthens our ties with the community and provides an avenue to start our Work Program. The Second Chance Thrift Store is just that – a second chance for items to find a new beginning… just like the men at the Beacon of Hope.

The store is currently looking for donations of household items, women’s and children’s clothing and furniture. Everything donated must be in good, clean and working condition. NO TELEVISIONS, MATTRESSES, BOX SPRINGS, CRIBS OR NON-WORKING ELECTRONICS CAN BE ACCEPTED. Items can be dropped off at our warehouse: 1105 1st Avenue North; M-F 8:30am-4:30pm We also schedule donation pickups in Ft Dodge M-Fri 8:30-11:30a just give us a call! All donations are tax-deductible, just ask for a receipt. We are also always in need of volunteers to serve in sorting clothing and donated items for the store.
