Welcome Home Kits
Home for All Coalition works collaboratively with over 50 community leaders, experts, and social service agencies to increase access to affordable housing and reduce rates of homelessness, housing instability, and eviction in the Greater Seacoast.
WE NEED YOUR HELP TO CREATE WELCOME HOME KITS
WHY? When someone from our community moves into housing after experiencing homelessness, they typically do not have the essential items needed to make their house a home. The basic items provided in each kit allow an individual or family to easily transition into the next phase of their life. The costs associated with moving into a new home can add up quickly, particularly for those on a limited budget. With your help, we can build a community where all of us have what we need to thrive!
How You Can Help
1. Consider making a monetary donation or donating a gift card to Amazon or Walmart to go toward creating a Welcome Home Basket for a family. The average costs of a basket ranges between $200-$350 depending on household needs.
2. Consider donating a Welcome Home Kit or some of the items from the list below! It’s a wonderful opportunity for you and your family, friends, and/or co-workers to do something together that can make a real difference in the lives of those transitioning from homelessness to housing.
