Thrift by the Pound. Purpose Behind Every Purchase.
For several years, Hope Thrift Boutique has operated a textile baling program at our warehouse on North Avenue West, collecting excess clothing donations from our boutique and several other locally owned thrift stores. These items were compressed into 1,000-pound bales and sold to wholesalers for just a few cents per pound.
But in 2023, we began asking an important question:
Could these items serve our community in a better way?
Instead of sending the best pieces away, we decided to give Missoula the chance to discover them first. We began hosting “treasure hunt” pop-up sales at the CityLife Community Center, offering clothing by the pound and inviting shoppers to dig for incredible finds.
The response was overwhelming.
Missoula loved the experience—and RESCUED was born.
Guided by Purpose. Grounded in Faith.

What is Incarnational Ministry?
We are called to be witnesses of Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit. This work is not about us — not our reputation, our church, or our organization. It is about Him and the people He loves. When we serve in His way and for His glory, a faithful reputation will follow — not for ourselves, but for Christ to be seen and known. We are not the saviors. We are witnesses to The Savior.
This is where it begins. Jesus became flesh and dwelt among us (John 1:14). He entered our world. He stepped into our reality. The incarnation is not only one of the most profound truths of the Gospel — it is our model for ministry.
Just as Christ came near to us, we are called to go and come near to others — to step into their world as they are, where they are. Not to control or coerce, but to faithfully bear witness by being present. The power of our witness is found in our “with-ness” — walking alongside, offering hope, and reflecting Christ through relationship.
