When families with children are experiencing homelessness, one of the ways New Hope for Families welcomes them into our shelter is by supplying them with fresh clean sheets, towels, toiletries and other items they need to make this place feel comfortable, peaceful, and safe. We rely on donations of new and gently-used items to provide this important support to the families we serve.
