Kitchen Basics Kits

May & June

Collection Drive

Individuals, couples, and families are able, with the assistance of their case manager, to move into permanent housing. They are excited and nervous about now being inside. Adjusting to living in a safe indoor quiet environment takes almost a year. An additional stressor to moving in is the need for essential household items. Many do not have the financial means to furnish and supply these very basic items.

We want to help ease the transition into their new home by providing the basic needs for their new kitchen. Our goal this year is 30 Kitchen Basic Kits. Please register the items you can provide. Items do not need to be new but need to be in good condition.

Items can be dropped off on Sunday mornings (look for the bins) or bring them by the church office during the week.
