Welcome Home Baskets

Thank You For Supporting Housing Security

Welcome Home Baskets support people moving from homelessness into new homes. When you’re starting with nothing, a basket full of essential items can make a new place feel like home and support long-term housing stability. Each basket contains about $150 worth of items. Thanks for your help in welcoming our neighbors home.
