How to HelpSponsor a Welcoming
One way we can increase the number of people we help is for organizations/groups to sponsor the furnishing of a family's apartment
Opportunities are available for businesses, civic groups, schools, religious organizations or groups of friends to fully sponsor one home’s furnishing. This can be done with or without the hands-on participation of the sponsoring entity. Attribution will be given to the sponsoring organization/group on Welcoming Home’s website and in external communications.

Many thanks to Our Sponsors
“On behalf of our agency, we would like to thank you for the wonderful work your group did this past Saturday. I was just at Maraea’s home; she was extremely grateful for all the transformations in her apartment! The boys showed me their rooms and their bikes with a lot of joy. They said that they had seen these things happen on TV, but they never imagined that they were going to be part of something like this themselves.”
