“Comfort Kits” for shelter families

For a family in crisis, the first night at a shelter can be overwhelming and even a little scary. To help ease this transition, we are launching a new initiative to provide “Comfort Kits” to every family member on their first day with us—offering not just essentials, but a sense of dignity, belonging, and care.

Here’s how you can help!

By shopping our Comfort Kits Amazon Wish List you can purchase the items that will go directly into each comfort kit bag and help create a warm welcome for an entire family whose life has been turned upside down.

  1. Shop “Comfort Kits” Amazon Wish List
  2. Have the items shipped directly to Transition House
  3. Volunteers and staff will create each individual bag and present them to families on their first night in the shelter

Every child and parent will receive a Comfort Kit which will include basic hygiene items, practical necessities, and comforting essentials. A simple toothbrush, a cozy pair of socks, or a small stuffed animal can make a world of difference in a difficult time.

Thank you for being a part of this community care. Your generosity helps families feel seen, supported, and hopeful as they take steps toward stability!
