Our Fall Drive!
Leaving shelter is a brave new beginning, and for many survivors it means stepping into a new apartment with little more than what they could carry. This fall, BRASS, Inc. is collecting home essentials for survivors moving into transitional housing, so that their first night in a new place feels safe, comfortable, and truly their own.
The items on our wish list are everyday things most of us take for granted: bedding and towels, pots and pans, dishes, cleaning supplies, shower curtains, and other basics that turn an empty apartment into a home. Every item helps a survivor and their children focus on healing and rebuilding instead of starting from zero.
