Move-In Household Baskets

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!
