Welcome to Your New Home - Cleaning Supply Kits

Help a family or homeless individual get off on the right foot with a cleaning kit for their new home. We are looking for volunteers to gather and pack cleaning essentials into a kitto be shared with United Way Partner Agencies who work to end homelessness every day.

"Welcome to Your New Home" is also great for team-building! Hold a supply drive at your place of business, with your club or group, or among your family and friends.

Simply respond to this need and we'll send you a list of what items are needed, how to pack them, and where to deliver your kits when done. If you have any questions, please contact Amy Manwaring, Resource Development Manager, at [email protected].
