Thank you to all the wonderful ESD staff whose donations helped ESD Connects build “Welcome Home” baskets for individuals and families who are transitioning from housing insecurity to secure housing. It might not look like it from the photo, but it was A LOT OF STUFF–so much so that we could barely fit it in Kerry Pinney’s vehicle!

It is expensive to start a new living situation, and we were thrilled that our goal of four complete Welcome Home Baskets was met! We got a nice shout-out on social media from the Council for the Homeless.

In total, ESD staff donated:

  • 4 Tall Laundry Baskets
