Welcome Home Baskets

Say “Welcome Home” to people moving into a new home after ending their homelessness!

Thank you Cascadia Real Estate NW!

A Fresh Start with a Welcome Home Basket

Moving is exciting and stressful, especially for individuals or families who have been living in cars, tents, motel rooms, or other unsecured or abusive situations. With a Welcome Home Basket from you, people will begin this new chapter in their lives with one less worry.

A Welcome Home Basket filled with household items for each person is a tremendous help as a tenant settles into their new apartment.

The welcome home basket was awesome. It was all the little things you only think about needing once you’ve moved in. We got a laundry basket, mops, sponges, pot holders – I didn’t have pot holders, and it made a huge difference on our first night when cooking.
