Adopt a Family
Welcome Home Basket
Adopt a Family
A great group project! Help our families get started on the right foot by collecting all the essentials they will need to move into their own apartment. It is easy:
Step #1: You let us know your group is willing to adopt a family
Step #2: We will connect you with a family in shelter.
Step #3: Start collecting items off that family's wish list
Step #4: Help transport items on move-out day!
Designated Funds
We have two critical funds established to help families move out of shelter quickly and safely:
- Our Security Deposit Assistance Fund allows your money to go directly to helping a family overcome the expense of a security deposit. We have found that families that can afford security deposits move out of shelter twice as fast as those who cannot.
- Our Children's Emergency Mattress Fund allows us to purchase new mattresses and frames for children when all other community partnerships have been exhausted. Help kids move safely out of shelter!
If you would like to support either of these funds, please designate your donation. Start by clicking the link below.
