Movin On boxes 

Missions >> Movin On Boxes

Through the programs available through agencies like CSADV, Crossroads, or Women Aware, many gain skills and confidence and are ready to move from transitional housing into a permanent, safe living arrangement.

Once they've found a place, they often need the most basic necessities to live on their own. Dishes, pans, bath towels, soap, a toaster...

Money is tight, and even these basics can be costly when you have to start from scratch.

A Moving on Box can make a difference.  Two boxes, a wastecan and clothes basket are packed with all the items a person might need as they move on from transitional into more permanent housing. 

With the help of agency staffers, we've detremined most needed supplies.

One box contains the following:
• Saucepan with lid
• 8 -12" fry pan with a lid
• can opener, spatula, scraper, spoons, pizza cutter
• Cookie sheet, 9x13 cake pan
• Mixing bowl or large 8 cup measuring bowl
• Casserole with lid
• Strainer
• Set of measuring cups, spoons
• Toaster and coffee maker
• Dishes, glasses (plastic, if possible) and silverware for 4
• 4 regular size bath towels and 8 coordinating wash cloths
• Laundry soap - 25 to 30 load size
• Bar soap and Kleenex
• Aluminum foil, saran wrap,

• Dish towels, pot holders, sponges, scrubbers
• Dish soap, oven cleaner, Pinesol
• Toilet bowl cleaner and brush
• 1 gal vinegar, 1qt clear ammonia, several boxes baking soda, 2 spray bottles for cleaning solutions.
