Host a Supply Drive for Wings

You buy the supplies, and we deliver them to people exiting homelessness and into housing.

We compile Welcome Home baskets for people leaving homelessness behind and moving into housing, but supplies cost us thousands of dollars each year, and we sometimes struggle to meet demand.

Easy as 1,2,3: 

Your group can help ease the burden and spread the love. It's simple:​

  1. Choose what your drive will look like and which supplies your group wants to collect

    • It can be a bake sale, going door-to-door in your neighborhood, or asking a local store to set up a table outside. This can be a part of your community service requirement as a student, and we'll provide you with the flyers, images, or messaging you need, depending on what kind of drive you want to run

    • Choose which supplies like sheets, toothbrushes, pillows, blankets, deodorant, etc - see full list here.

  2. Spread the word! Let your group members, church members, their friends, and more know they can bring new, unopened packages of the supplies to a location of your choosing during a certain time period (could be a facility, someone's house, etc)

  3. Drop off the supplies: at the end of the drive, we'll come pick them up, or you can drop them off with us!

Here's what we need right now:

  • Pillows

  • Twin sheet sets

  • Twin XL sheet sets

  • Queen sheet sets

  • Blankets/comforters (Twin or Queen-sized)

  • Toothbrushes

  • Toothpaste

  • 20+ oz Shampoo & conditioner (could be combined or a set)

  • 4 roll toilet paper sets

  • Double paper towel roll 

  • Deodorant (mens or womens or gender neutral)

Thanks for submitting!

Let’s work together to end homelessness one person at a time

WHY BASKETS?

Imagine moving into a house with only the clothes on your back. How would you do laundry? Make your bed? Get a glass of water?

We take all these things for granted in our homes because they're just the basics. We eat with our silverware. We clean up with our broom and dustpan. We snuggle up in our sheets and warm blankets at night.

But for someone who just came from a shelter, or living in a tent or car for sometimes years - these basics aren't part of their collection. And sure, once they move into housing and get their income streams settled they could buy these items, but often there are more pressing financial needs like food, gas, or transportation.

We don't ever want someone to have to choose between gas and a bed, or between food and dishes.

We want to help these individuals and families stabilize as they move into their new housing.

This stability can be the difference between whether or not someone stays housed.

By buying these items, you can help people thrive and make their new house feel like home.

Our newly housed neighbors have enough to worry about without having to worry about how they'll afford hundreds of dollars for all the supplies they need.

Now imagine finally getting a house after years of living in your car and imagine a generous volunteer delivering a basket to you with all the supplies you need for cleaning, hygiene, and dignity. And the basket even has a little note.

That's the vision you'll help make a reality.
