Welcome Home Kits
Welcome Home Kits are a great way to provide essentials for a family that has just moved from homelessness to housing. There are so many items needed when first moving into a new home, including cleaning, office, bathroom, and kitchen items. These kits are a great way for a family, group, club, or scout troop to welcome their neighbor. Simply SignUp Here to let us know which kit you will be assembling.
