Welcome Home Baskets

 Help a homeless individual or family make the transition to their own apartment by making a “Welcome Home” Basket filled with new household items that are needed to get settled in a new home. This is a perfect community service project for faith groups, corporate community service teams, alumni groups, student groups, etc. Make one or several.
