Call to Action: House to Home Campaign

Imagine moving in to your new house and everything you need to feel comfortable at home is already there for you.

During the House to Home campaign, we are inviting volunteers (you!) to donate goods and time to prepare the first units for resident move-in.

House To Home Has Two Components:

    1)  Gather items to outfit a new home.

    2)  Outfit the home with a team – friends, family, etc.!

You will be able to add your personal touch to this project — from kitchenware to artwork.

Below you will find a list of the basic necessities we  request. You may either go shopping to pick out items personally, or donate to fund a move-in package.

Then, we will host move-in days where teams will come to Towne Twin Village and set up their houses for soon-to-be residents!
