H - O - M - E 🏠 What does home mean to you? Our Home Again program was created to give our participants moving out of shelter into permanent housing that feeling of warmth, stability and safety. Home Again provides beds, mattresses, sheets, towels and all the kitchen essentials you can imagine, so the minute they have the keys, it becomes H - O - M - E. To make home happen, we are always in need of small, apartment-sized furniture, especially two- or four-person dining sets, loveseats, side chairs, end tables, night stands and lamps, both floor and table. Learn more about our Home Again program here: https://lnkd.in/ec_Z4EU2
