Move-In Household Baskets for Homeless Neighbors

Partner Description

Mercy House helps people find their way back home from homelessness to permanent housing for low income families and adults. Their mission is "to be a leader in ending homelessness by providing a unique system of dignified housing opportunities, programs and supportive services".
Need
Help turn a bare apartment into a warm, welcoming home! Transitioning into permanent housing is an incredible milestone for individuals and families moving out of homelessness. However, starting completely from scratch can be a major financial hurdle. Providing a complete household move-in basket ensures our newly housed neighbors can cook, sleep, and live comfortably from their very first night.
More Details
This is a high-impact, deeply practical, self-funded opportunity that is perfect for small groups, families, or co-workers to tackle together. You will purchase a variety of essential home goods—ranging from kitchenware to bedding—and pack them neatly inside a large laundry basket.

Estimated Cost: Approx. $150 – $200 per completed basket (Based on local Southern California retail pricing for standard, new household essentials at stores like Target or Walmart).

A comprehensive shopping checklist and easy local drop-off instructions will be sent directly to your inbox as soon as you sign up!
