Check out our “Welcome to Your New Home Kits!”
Each guest moving into a new apartment gets one of these special kits put together by the incredible volunteer and donor, Anne B.!
Anne B. has been a regular donor to the CDCW since 2022, and we are so grateful for her continued generosity. Whether we need gloves, hats, jackets, pillows, blankets, shorts, or just about anything else, Anne is always looking for ways to help.
Anne is a great bargain hunter and puts her Crazy Bucks from Ocean State Job Lot to good use, making sure our folks have what they need to stay comfortable and dressed for the season.
Since 2025, Anne has taken her generosity a step further by putting together “Welcome to Your New Home” kits for people moving into new apartments. She packs each kit in a kitchen trash can and fills it with the basics needed to get settled—bathroom cleaners, a shower curtain and hooks, a mop, broom and dustpan, and plenty of kitchen supplies.
The kitchen items include pot holders, towels, cooking utensils, storage bags, aluminum foil, sponges, multipurpose cleaners, and even the essentials like mustard, mayo, and ketchup.
Anne puts a lot of thought into these donations, and it shows. We truly appreciate all that she does for the CDCW and the people we serve. Thank you, Anne, for your kindness, generosity, and for always thinking of ways to help!
