Welcome Home
Welcome Home is a program for women with young children who are moving out of homelessness and into stable housing. Our partnership with the Lutheran Social Services Family Program assists in creating warm, welcoming environments for the families in an apartment building in south Minneapolis. Prior to a new family moving in, our Welcome Home team furnishes the apartment, provides household items, and fills the refrigerator and cupboards with food and supplies. In addition, few fun activities are planned throughout the year such as a bingo night, a Christmas party, and a barbecue to provide opportunities for entertainment and connection.
Donating household goods to the ministry is easy with online shopping lists from Amazon and Target. We’ll take care of delivering items to the apartment building.
The following items are best purchased at dollar stores. Please consider donating items in quantities of ten.
