Our Mission Statement Founded in 2001, Hope Chest for Breast Cancer Foundation provides funds to underserved families touched by breast cancer. Assistance is provided for early detection education and treatment programs, emergency funds for basic living expenses, hospice care for people battling the disease and research. Hope Chest raises critical resources through donations, fundraising events and the sale of upscale furniture, accessories and designer clothing donated by individuals, corporations and small businesses at the Hope Chest for Breast Cancer Retail Shops. Hope Chest’s goal is to raise $10 million annually by opening 50 Hope Chest franchised shops nationwide within five years. The Hope Chest for Breast Cancer Foundation, a non-profit organization, provides funds to underserved families touched by breast cancer, for early detection education and treatment programs, for hospice care for people battling the disease and for research into a cure. It is important to note that the money raised in the Twin Cities stays in this community to help our underserved families touched by breast cancer that need it the most. Hope Chest raises critical resources through donations, fundraising events and the sale of upscale furniture, accessories and designer clothing donated by individuals, corporations and small businesses at the Hope Chest Retail Stores.
