This fall, ESD Connects is supporting the Council for the Homeless to build “Welcome Home” baskets for individuals and families who are transitioning from housing insecurity to secure housing. Moving into a new home is exciting and stressful. These baskets are a way to help people begin this new chapter in their lives after ending homelessness!
From now until October 18, we will be collecting items with the goal of building four Welcome Home Baskets.
To donate, please visit this spreadsheet to sign up. This will help us ensure we have a good balance of items for baskets. Notice the tabs along the bottom of the spreadsheet. Each tab is for a basket, and some have themes (for home decor items). So if the first tab looks full, take a look at a different one! Within the spreadsheet is also a link to an Amazon wishlist for ease of online ordering. Using the wishlist is optional, but it helps give an idea of the size and type of certain items. The Council for the Homeless recommends unscented products, when possible.
Bring or ship all items to Kerry Pinney in Insurance by October 18, 2024. Thank you!
ESD Connects will be assembling the baskets sometime after October 18, and you’re welcome to join us! Contact us if you would like to help!
