Want to Sponsor a Starter Kit?
Get a group of colleagues, co-workers, friends or family to sponsor a Starter Kit. Right after we first visit the individual or family we’re helping, we bring them a Starter Kit of basic household essentials to keep them going until we can deliver all the furniture and other household items on Welcoming Day, about a month later. The brand new beds are delivered at about the same time. This way, they can get a good night’s sleep, prepare and eat a meal, take a shower and in general be able to take care of themselves right away.
Tamal Vista Family Dentistry sponsored a Starter Kit and delivered it to a formerly homeless woman
A member of the Tamal Vista staff shared, "By delivering and seeing her accommodations, it was so much more meaningful than just making a monetary donation. It is such an incredible service that your organization provides!"
For her part, the client sent a message right after the delivery, "No words to express how much effort Tamal Vista went through to give me these special presents in the time that I need them the most. I have not seen this type of kindness in a very long time"
