Home For Good

Each year, thousands of households in the Greater Twin Cities transition from homelessness to housing yet lack the everyday essentials needed for a safe, stable home. To help ease this financial burden, our Home For Good initiative is back with a goal to provide 700 local families with “Welcome Home Bins.” Each bin includes cleaning supplies, kitchen utensils, hygiene necessities, blankets and more. You can help welcome local families home for good.
