Welcome Home Welcomes Drives
Hosting a drive is a wonderful way to build community and to learn more about the mission and the work of Welcome Home.
By holding a drive for Welcome Home, you have the power to make a significant and positive impact on the lives of families in need. Drives are critically important to keeping our shelves stocked with the household goods that are in highest demand so we can respond to every request we receive.

"Welcome Home volunteers celebrate receiving a drive of towels (always in high demand) and a financial contribution." |
Who can hold a drive?Anyone is welcome to work with us to organize a drive. Individuals, families, scout troops, religious organizations, businesses, clubs, sports teams, schools, and other social and business groups have all donated generously to Welcome Home by hosting a drive.
What items are collected for a drive?Our most successful drives focus on a specific type of household good in high demand. We will let you know which items we currently need the most. For example: a collection of towels; blankets; sheets; pots and pans; utensils; pillows; etc.
When can I hold a drive?We need items year-round and will help you schedule the best time to hold a drive. We try to coordinate drives so that we have a balance of types of items coming in throughout the year.
Where do I drop off the items?Once your drive is complete, you will be sent a link to sign up for a time to drop off the items at Welcome Home at 1191 Washington Street (REAR), West Newton. |
