Our Beginnings
The Clothes Closet began as a Christian-based outreach with a simple mission: to provide clothing to those in need while offering compassion, dignity, and hope. The organization first operated out of ten units at McCulloch Mini Storage and officially became a nonprofit organization in 2014. As the need grew, a larger storage space was generously provided by Brad Meahl, allowing the organization to expand its reach. Through collaboration with other local organizations, The Clothes Closet was able to serve more individuals and families throughout Lake Havasu City. What began as a small, faith-driven effort continued to grow as community needs became more visible. Over time, the organization expanded beyond clothing assistance to include community events and partnerships designed to support individuals and families in meaningful ways. As those needs evolved, so did the mission — leading to stronger collaboration with local organizations and a broader impact across the community. Today, that same heart for service continues through Havasu Hope, building on a strong foundation of faith, generosity, and community involvement.
How We Serve the Community
We believe the most effective support comes through collaboration. Havasu Hope works closely with local schools, churches, hospitals, and nonprofit organizations to ensure individuals and families receive the help they need when they need it. In addition to resource guidance and essential clothing, The Clothes Closet provides practical, life-sustaining support for those experiencing homelessness, including a cooling station during the extreme summer months, access to showers, and on-site washing machines and dryers. We also offer basic necessities such as snacks and bottled water to help meet immediate needs. By connecting individuals to appropriate resources and providing essential services at no cost, we strive to strengthen our community and offer encouragement during life’s most challenging moments.
