Okay, friends. I need your attention because something is happening in Pontiac that deserves WAY more attention than it’s getting.

Oakland HOPE needs $3 MILLION. And before you scroll past that number, let me tell you why you should care.

This incredible organization serves approximately 16,000 people EVERY MONTH. More than 4,500 of them are CHILDREN.

In 2025 alone, they distributed more than 2.1 MILLION POUNDS OF FOOD.

These are our neighbors. Working families struggling to make ends meet. Seniors on fixed incomes. Parents wondering how they’re going to feed their kids.

And Oakland HOPE shows up for them.

But here’s what you need to know.

They’re carrying a $1.8 MILLION mortgage. Their building needs maintenance. Their operating hours need to be restored. And they’re launching a $3 million campaign to make sure this organization can continue feeding our community for years to come.

Imagine what they could do if they weren’t carrying that mortgage.

And here’s what I LOVE about their operation. They run a massive thrift store where donated furniture, clothing, and household goods help fund their mission.

Your unwanted couch can help put food on somebody else’s table.

Through my estate sale business, I’ve had the privilege of working directly with Pastor Jim and its founder, Norma. I’ve watched their team show up, load trucks, and do the hard work that most people never see.

They’re not talking about making a difference. They’re DOING IT.

Now they need community help. Which sometimes begins with awareness of their mission and sharing why it matters and prayers for God to put them upon the hearts of those with pockets deep enough to do some legacy work…

And I know some of you have more influence than you realize ♥️

Shop their thrift store. Donate your furniture. Make a contribution. Share this post. Get their name in front of somebody who can help.

Because a community food pantry shouldn’t have to choose between paying a mortgage, watching its building deteriorate or feeding its neighbors. We can do better!

Oakland HOPE is doing its part.

Let’s do ours. ❤️

Oakland Hope is one of my favorite nonprofits and we partner with them after each sale to donate what wasn’t sold — those items head to their resale store in Pontiac where proceeds support their local food bank ♥️ The circle of blessing. This amazing crew will make two 90 minute drives out to us to collect all the leftovers. Thank you to Rey and Clayton for showing up today with the sparkle and energy of a unicorn and allowing me to talk you into a drive to the family lake house—ensuring your truck was FULL heading back to Pontiac. ♥️

Sometimes the end of one family’s chapter becomes the beginning of someone else’s. ♥️

That’s one of the most meaningful parts of what we do at Pure Green.

When an estate sale ends, our work isn’t over. We do a lot of quiet giving behind the scenes—working hard to keep usable items out of landfills and intentionally putting them into the hands of people who need them.

We call it the circle of blessing.

And this time, we’re inviting our village into it.

Mama K is a hardworking single mama raising four children who is rebuilding after transitioning out of a shelter.

Our current family has generously offered to donate an entire U-Haul of furniture, beds, artwork and household goods to help furnish her home.

Pure Green is donating the U-Haul and our team’s labor. Next Friday, we’ll deliver everything and spend the day getting her family completely set up.

Not just delivering furniture. Making a house feel like home. 🏡♥️

And everything usable that remains will be donated to Oakland Hope in Pontiac, where resale proceeds help support a local food bank.

We’ve fulfilled almost everything Mama K needs—but there are a few things left on her wish list.

So I’m coming to my village. ♥️

If you’d like to help us finish filling that truck, Mama K’s Amazon Wish List is linked in our bio. Everything purchased will ship directly to us and go onto the U-Haul next Friday.

One family closing a chapter.
Another beginning one.
And the good keeps moving forward.

That’s the circle of blessing. ♥️

Our Fill-A-Bag section is basically a $30 treasure hunt 🏴‍☠️

Here’s how it works: you buy a bag for $30, then you dig. 🪎

This is all the stuff that is still way too good to throw away, but maybe doesn’t need its own fancy little price tag. Kitchen gadgets, linens, books, random useful household stuff, little decor, weird finds, vintage odds and ends… and every once in a while something surprisingly good sneaks in there too. I literally tossed a Neiman Marcus toiletry bag in the other day.

It is NOT organized. We add to it constantly. There may be boxes. You may have to dig. That is 100% the point.

And this part is important: we don’t price Fill-A-Bag items individually. The whole fun of it is finding something great buried in there and realizing it’s part of your $30 bag. If we start pulling out the “good stuff” and pricing it separately, then it stops being a treasure hunt — and honestly, that ruins the whole idea.

So if you find something amazing in there, congratulations. 😂 You found the treasure. Put it in your bag.

You fill your bag with as much as you can fit. And no, we are not standing there with a ruler trying to catch you. If your bag is packed full and you’re carrying one extra thing out with it, I am probably going to be just fine.

It’s fun, it keeps perfectly useful things out of the dumpster, and you seriously never know what you’re going to find.

Come dig. 🖤
