Home is so much more than a roof over your head.
Getting your first place after experiencing homelessness, couch surfing, living in a shelter or your car is exciting...but expensive. That’s why we’re proud to launch “Welcome Home Baskets”. They’re the essential items needed to begin a new life in a new home. We have families and individuals moving into permanent, supportive housing across the region; some of them will have a safe place to lay their head for the first time! With your help, these families can focus on what’s most important: meals on the table, shoes on their feet, and transportation to get to work.
HOW TO HELP

Our loving volunteers will purchase the materials and assemble a basket for you.
