Welcome Home

 

We have completed our new 700-square-foot Welcome Home Center and conducted a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Feb. 22, 2024.

The Welcome Home Center provides an opportunity to obtain and store household items and small furniture, then lets eligible guests shop for free for basic items of their preference. It is empowering to have a choice and select items that reflect their style and personality. Those little things can make a difference in providing dignity, creating confidence, and a sense of home.

 

The Welcome Home program helps guests start over with their lives. Many do not own common household necessities to start again. Part of what can make a positive transition harder for some guests is there is not much discretionary income available to them.

We understand that offering just this little bit of help to our guests can make a major difference in a person’s life and success. Imagine moving into a new apartment but living with a dirty floor because you cannot afford a vacuum, broom, or mop. Or coming home to an apartment with no furniture and sleeping on the floor. The Welcome Home Center allows us to receive and store more donations from the community and purchase other necessities in bulk to alleviate these worries by our transitioning guests. Then it will help them not slip through the cracks and be more successful in living an abundant life.
