Provide Local Families with Household Supplies

Home For Good

Help ensure families moving into stable housing have the essentials they need — towels, kitchen utensils, cleaning supplies, hygiene necessities, blankets and more — to thrive in their new home.

Help welcome neighbors home… for good.

Each year, thousands of households in the Greater Twin Cities transition from homelessness to stable housing yet lack the everyday essentials needed for a safe, stable home.

A shortage of affordable housing combined with the high cost of food, utilities and more are making the housing crisis in our region more severe. In fact, nearly 11,000 people experience homelessness every night in Minnesota, including more than 6,000 in the metro area and those numbers continue to grow each year.

Provide Essential Household Supplies

We know that stable housing is the key to success in school, work, health, family and community life. Without a place to live and belong, everything else in life becomes more complicated. Join Greater Twin Cities United Way during Home For Good to provide our neighbors with welcome home bins filled with towels, kitchen utensils, cleaning supplies, hygiene necessities, blankets and more.
