DIY: Family Shelter Bedroom Kits

About Housing Families First:

Housing Families First (HFF) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization working to address and solve family homelessness in the Richmond region. Through the collective efforts and support of those who walk beside us, we continue to make strides toward a future where every family has a safe place to call home.

Make a Difference with DIY Shelter Bedroom Kits!

When families arrive at Housing Families First’s Hilliard House emergency shelter, they often come with very few belongings.  Your donation of a Bedroom Kit can help ensure that families have a comfortable night’s sleep with fresh linens that they are able to keep when they transition out of shelter.

This project is perfect for families, congregations, youth groups, civic organizations, corporations, neighbors, and individuals.

How You Can Help:

These kits can be assembled in a laundry basket, tote bag, or small plastic bin and should include the following full-sized items:
