Welcome Home Kits for OC

Welcome Home Kits 

Goal: Say “Welcome Home!” to newly housed individuals and families! This program empowers volunteers to collect new household items to benefit PATH clients, so that those moving off the streets and into permanent homes have the basics to get started. By putting together Welcome Home Kits that include much-needed household items, you can help recently housed individuals and families to feel welcomed and at home in their new living space. This volunteer project is great for faith groups, companies, philanthropic committees, schools, families, and individuals who want to rally friends for a good cause!

Since PATH houses approximately 20 individuals per week, we are always in need of Welcome Home Kits. Welcome Home Kits are critical to our efforts to ensure that people in our community transitioning into permanent housing have all the essentials they need.

Group Size:  4 -15 volunteers.

Location: Kits can be assembled on-site or off site at a location of your choice.
