In putting together a Helping Kit, you provide the essentials for a family that has been struggling with housing stability or just moved from homelessness to housing. For newly housed families, your gift is often the first thing that a family receives as they build their new home with pride and dignity.
How to Make a Neighbors Helping Neighbors Kit:
- Gather a group of helpers. Unite your kids, friends, church group or chess club to create a Kit together. Welcome the community to participate in caring for struggling families!
- Decide which Kit to create (see list).
- Assemble the elements. Not everything needs to be newly purchased, but please provide functional, clean and quality items.
- Place elements in designated container.
- Drop off at 850 Cockrill Street, Venice FL 34285 , Monday to Friday from 9am-4pm.
