Families in Transition

Donation request: Cleaning products and household items! Did you know every family or individual moving into our housing is greeted by a "Welcome Basket" filled with cleaning products and home essentials to help them settle into their new home? We are experiencing low inventory levels of cleaning products and household essentials to fill baskets for our new residents. For products you can donate, please visit our household items list: https://lnkd.in/eUyMWSvF If you'd like to help with this request, please drop off your donation at our Food Pantry on Lake Ave. As always, thank you to the members of our community for your continued support ❤️

Thank you, Joseph, our newest community hero, for raising money to support our Food Pantry! Joseph's lemonade stand created a buzz in his neighborhood when he announced he would donate the proceeds to Families in Transition. His family stopped by the Food Pantry earlier this week with $250, which will help purchase items such as milk, eggs, and coffee. Thank you – Joseph, brother Leo, and Gina, for squeezing all those lemons 🍋 The Families in Transition Food Pantry serves approximately 1,100 households each month—a 30% increase over last year. Every donation makes a difference! If you'd like to make a donation, visit our high-needs list for our most in-demand items: https://lnkd.in/eUyMWSvF

Thank you to our community partners, Realty ONE Group, for holding a Back-to-School supply drive this year! With their help, we can provide the children and families living in our housing, transitional living programs, and shelter everything they need to start the school year off right 🎒✏📒

Thank you to our community partners at Live Free Recovery Services for inviting us to their open house last week! Our team joined them for a tour of one of their newer facilities, a low-intensity residential program for women.

Meet some of our program and development teams! These folks are instrumental in running our shelters, housing, pantry, and raising funds to keep our doors open for our community members in need.  Last week team members and leadership (not all pictured) toured three of our facilities to start prepping for the year ahead.

Thank you to all the wonderful organizations and partners who came out to celebrate the 2nd anniversary of the monthly Resource Fair held at our Adult Emergency Shelter at 199 Manchester St.!

It is a vital part of our commitment to meet people where they are and aid them on their journey to exit homelessness - we look forward to seeing you all next month and in the years to come!
