Supporting Families as They Build a New Beginning
Home is more than a place—it’s stability, safety, and the foundation for a new beginning.
This May, we’re supporting our partner Beacon Interfaith Housing Collaborative and families living at Vista 44 in Hopkins. Vista 44 provides 50 deeply affordable homes for families transitioning out of homelessness or experiencing housing instability. Every household is building toward a more secure future, supported by onsite services and a caring community.
Most families at Vista 44 have young children—many ages 0–5, with others in the 5–12 range. For these families, everyday essentials can make an extraordinary difference. A simple item—a warm pair of pajamas, a board book, a bottle—becomes part of creating routine, stability, and a sense of home.
This drive is a meaningful (and very tangible) way to come alongside these families as they take courageous steps forward.
What We’re Collecting
We’re collecting essential items for young children and their families at Vista 44—including feeding supplies, clothing (up to 5T), books and toys, and everyday household basics that help create comfort and stability.
