Survivors Deserve a Fresh Start...

We often serve clients who are transitioning from emergency shelter services to brand new safe housing.   Like all of us, they could use some things to make their new place feel like home.   We've pulled together this list of items that are most frequently requested and that we would love to be able to give to a client on their way to a fresh start.   

Here's how you can help!  These items are donated less frequently overall--so, coordinating a fresh-start supply drive is the perfect way to volunteer and do some immediate good for our clients.  

For more information about coordinating a donation drive on behalf of Branches, contact 

Sara Blevins O'Toole, blevins@branchesdvs.org

Summer time is a great time to share the gift of a meal!  Whether it's potato salad and hot dogs, or a special family casserole, our survivors could use the pick me up!  

If you'd like to donate to either shelter, visit our MealTrain calendars.
