This is our main initiative. Our clients are everyday women who have specific needs as they transition and grow in their lives. The Adopt-A-Neighbor program fulfills specific Basic Necessity Items such as clothing, linens, hygiene items, baby items, cleaning supplies, and household items. Donations are needed year-round. In the winter, we select an agency to sponsor, and we host a supply drive for the people they serve. Outside of the winter months, we are using these donations to directly impact the Women\/families we serve.<\/p>\n
This winter 2025, we’re extending this initiative and hosting a supply drive for the Basin Dream Center.

Safety is always our number one priority. Housing assistance could come in the form of Household Cleaning\/Supplies, Monetarily for bills, Application Assistance and\/or Loan Coaching\/Credit Repair. Transportation is key for our Clients to get to\/from work, trainings, grocery store, doctor, day care and more. Transportation assistance could come in the form of Bus Passes, Lyft\/Uber Gift Cards and\/or monetary assistance for small vehicle repairs\/maintenance.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\tSupport Peers\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t <\/p>\n\t\t Our Adopt-A-Supply-List focuses on providing Education, Employment, and Vocational assistance. Knowledge is power! Education assistance could come in the form of receiving necessary supplies, application assistance (GED\/College), Internship opportunities and\/or scholarships. Employment assistance could look like support for obtaining an ID, job search and application assistance, resume building, internship prep\/coaching, stipends for work clothing\/equipment and\/or financial literacy education. Vocational assistance looks different for everyone! This typically comes in the form of growing in a specific field. After a variety of information is reviewed, we determine with the Client what skills they’re interested in building.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\tSupport Growth\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t <\/p>\n\t\t <\/p>\n\t\t For 2025, we are partnering with the Methodist Children’s Home GAP program.
