 The Hope Village
Resale Shop is located in Friendswood (south of Houston) on Hope Village Road, 1/2 block south of
FM 2351. The resale shop opened in March 2006 and celebrated its
Grand Opening in June 2006. It has been a wonderful success so far!
We depend on the support of the public, not only by shopping in our
store, but by donating clothing, accessories and household items
that are in "like new" condition. The Hope Foundation for Retarded
Children is a 501 (c)(3) organization and donations are tax
deductible as allowed by law. As with all of our retail ventures,
all proceeds support the programs offered by Hope Village and also
offer opportunities for Villagers to receive job training and learn
new skills.
Originally the
workshop, this space was completely renovated in 2004-2005 by board
member Maurice Estlinbaum, Wayne Robinson of Northwinds
Construction, and many other friends. The majority of funds for this
project were raised by Maurice at his annual Jack Montgomery and
Matt Benton Memorial Fish Fry. Wayne and Judy Robinson also donated much of the labor
and materials for this project. For his efforts, Wayne was awarded
the City of Friendswood's third Community Spirit Award
honoring citizens that have gone above and beyond to help
others. The Lyons Foundation and the Albert and Ethel Herzstein
Foundation also awarded generous grants to help us complete this
project. Thank You to all who so generously gave to make our
dream a reality! |
