Welcome Baskets for Families

Youth and Family Services: Families in Safe Hands – Metro

Love one another as I have loved you. John 13:34

What We Do

The Families in Safe Hands (FISH) program offers services to families working toward self-sufficiency and stability. Case Managers partner with families experiencing a variety of destabilizing barriers such as homelessness, unemployment, trauma and other challenges and work to eliminate or reduce the challenges these situations bring. We also work with kinship families – those who take in a friend’s or relative’s child.

Project Location

Collect supplies at your church congregation and deliver to the Center for Changing Lives, Minneapolis, 2400 Park Ave S, Minneapolis MN.

What You Can Do

Welcome Baskets for Families: Fill a basket with household items to welcome families into their new home after leaving a shelter or receiving a family’s or friend’s child into a family (kinship families).

Project Details

Assemble welcome baskets for families. Items can include, but are not limited to:

  • Household cleaning supplies-laundry soap appreciated
  • Toilet paper and tissue
  • Paper towels, brushes, and sponges
  • Hygiene products (shampoo, soap)
  • Cooking utensils
