Movin On boxes

Moving On Boxes
Transitioning through life is difficult at best for anyone. For some it can seem almost impossible.

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
