Haven Home Starter Packs
Our Haven Home Starter Packs provide dignity, comfort and stability for women and children starting again after family violence. From kitchen and pantry staples to laundry, bathroom and bedding items, each pack helps transform a house into a safe, welcoming home.
If you prefer to give goods rather than dollars; donating new, unused essentials is a powerful and practical way to help. You can choose to focus on one category (such as kitchen, bathroom or bedding items), or contribute a mix of items across different categories from our Home Starter Pack list. Every contribution, no matter the size, plays a part in creating a complete and caring home environment.
The essentials you gather – whether practical household items or small comforts – provide dignity, stability and a sense of fresh beginnings at a time when it is needed most.
Home Start Pack Guidelines
All items for the Home Starter Packs must be new and unused.
