Our shelves are bare and we are in need of household essentials to help ready homes for those moving into Anawim from homelessness.
Starting November 27th - December 15th we are hosting the Home is Everything Gift Drive to collect our highest need household items that will be gifted to those moving into housing who have very little. Many who are transitioning from homelessness into permanent, safe housing come to Anawim with nothing but the clothes on their back. Your gift will make a lasting impact and helps us provide individuals with a sense of home, ownership, and comfort on their move-in day.
