Help make a house feel like home for individuals and families transitioning out of homelessness.
Heartland HOUSED's Welcome Home Basket Initiative provides essential household items to people moving into permanent housing. Volunteers play a vital role in ensuring these items are organized, ready for distribution, and available when someone receives the keys to their new home.
Volunteer activities may include
- Breaking down and recycling donation boxes
- Sorting and organizing donated household items
- Counting and inventorying donations
- Assembling Welcome Home Baskets
- Keeping the storage area clean and organized
- Reaching out to local businesses, churches, civic groups, and community members to encourage donations
- Assisting with donation drives and collection events
Whether you enjoy organizing, working behind the scenes, or connecting with the community, there's a place for you on our team. Every hour volunteered helps someone start the next chapter of their life with the essentials needed to turn housing into a home.
