Hope Chest for Breast Cancer provides Emergency Assistance Grants to
support local breast cancer patients and their families. Our business
model combines the power of a foundation and revenue-generating Resale
Shop. Hope Chest for Breast Cancer combines donations, grants, event revenues and
store proceeds to provide a solid revenue stream for its mission. Hope Chest for Breast Cancer is open seven days per week and sells merchandise at a fraction of the cost because all of the items - from
evening wear to end tables - are donated from individuals or corporations.
When our first store opened, it created a wild excitement amongst
students as they flooded our store. They sold their used books to us and
bought new ones and on their way out, they took plenty of our business
cards and distributed around the campus.
Professors went ahead to inform students about our cheap book sales,
parking shuttle drivers did their bit over the PA system, the campus
help desk directed the students to us and passed out our business cards.
Even the employees of the campus bookstore came in to buy from us and
sell their textbooks as well.
