Lake Zurich Illinois Thrift Store and Resale Furniture Store

Our Story

For more than 40 years, Hope Ministries has helped families across the greater Barrington area move from crisis back to self-sufficiency through food, housing, transportation, and utility assistance.

House of Hope Resale is how that work gets funded. We're a boutique-style thrift store and resale furniture shop with new arrivals daily, providing real value for shoppers. The store is run by a team of 5 staff members and over 200+ dedicated volunteers who handle the bulk of daily operations.

House of Hope Resale was once Annie’s Attic, a small garage sale business located in the heart of downtown Barrington and has since grown into a large, multi-storefront operation in Lake Zurich.

After 40 years, our mission remains the same: helping individuals & families, regardless of faith.

How It Works

Every dollar spent or item donated at House of Hope Resale flows directly into 3 outreach programs run by Hope Ministries: Project Hope, Hope Chest Food Pantry and our Mobile Food Pantry.

Together, with our community programs, including Caring and Sharing and Grants of Hope, Hope Ministries is able to extend its mission to help the poor, marginalized and disenfranchised throughout the Barrington area.
