Responding to Disaster
When a natural disaster happens, the road to recovery and safety may be a long one, and no one should walk it alone. Generous donors walk alongside our neighbors to ensure they have the supplies they need.
Kits distributed to disaster relief victims include:
Serving Neighbors who are Homeless
When difficult times happen, a kind and loving response makes a difference. That’s why the Blankets and Kits program was created—to remind someone facing a difficult time that they are not alone. Caring donors ensure that someone who needs comfort not only receives a warm blanket and other supplies they might need, they are given unconditional kindness, respect, dignity and love.
Kits distributed to our unsheltered neighbors include:
Welcoming New Neighbors
When neighbors around the world are forced to leave their homes and begin a new life in various parts of the United States, they often travel with a few materials possessions. Compassionate donors help welcome our newly arriving neighbors and provide essentials like food, water, blankets and hygiene supplies.
Kits distributed to our new neighbors include:
Caring for Our Communities
The desire to reach out and build relationships within the local community by sharing Kits and Blankets are two of the many ways our generous donors share a hope-filled world.
Kits distributed to our local communities include:
Supporting Students' Education
Starting a new school year is exciting, but for children who don’t have school supplies, it can also be terrifying. That’s where compassionate donors come in—you share your resources with children so they can start the school year with the supplies they need to thrive.
Kits distributed to our local partners and schools include:
Aiding Health and Wellness
The ability to brush your teeth and wash your face are things many don’t think twice about. But for some people access to hygiene supplies--an important component staying healthy- is scarce. Because of generous donors, our neighbors have the hygiene items they need when the supplies are hard to come by.
