Volunteer: Courage to Change Wish List

WHY DONATE? Making a House a Home

WHO WILL BENEFIT? The title of our wish list says it all. When our residents move into our houses they usually come with nothing except perhaps a change of clothes. We want to make them feel like they are moving into a home. To that end, we provide beds, bedding, dishes, kitchen utensils, furniture, decor--anything that is needed to make our residents feel like they have moved into a home and not just a place to sleep. Donations of furnishings, bedding, kitchen utensils--the usual items needed when moving into a new home-- would benefit our residents and Courage to Change Sober Living as a whole since buying these items takes a chunk of our budget.
