Melissa’s Hope Chest

Melissa’s Hope Chest is a thrift store that offers hope and security to victims and survivors of domestic violence.  All profits from the store go directly to Family Crisis Centers to serve victims living in our communities. 

You can always find a large selection of clothing, jewelry, accessories, household items, décor and much more.  Inventory changes daily – stop by and shop sometime!  The store is located in Sioux Center, IA at 1769 1st Ave SW.
