Every box is put together around her family’s size and needs, and it is completely confidential.

Non-perishable food and snacks
Clothing and pajamas for her and her children
Blankets and bedding
Towels and household essentials
Toiletries and personal care items
Feminine care products
Diapers, wipes and baby care for little ones
Backpacks and school supplies
A plush toy for each child
Donated support services, such as counseling and dental care, when available

Every box is built around her family, so what is inside can vary.
