Recently, our family donated baby items and clothing to Hope House for the first time. Hope House works to help the homeless get back on their feet. They have two locations in Middletown, one for women and children, another for men. Donations are taken at the men’s building at 34 S. Main St. Middletown, OH or financial contributions can be made on their website. They welcome volunteers to serve meals as well.
