At Bringing Families Together, we believe every young person deserves a safe, stable place to call home—and the support to thrive once they get there. That’s why we’re asking for your help as we prepare three of our youth to move into their very first apartments through our Transitional Living Scattered Site (TLSS) Program.
Why This Matters
Transitioning into adulthood is a big leap for any young person. For youth in foster care, this transition can be especially overwhelming—often without the family support or financial resources many of us take for granted. Through the TLSS program, we walk alongside these youth as they step into independence. But we can’t do it alone.
What We Need
Right now, we’re collecting household items, hygiene products, and some furniture to help furnish apartments for three incredible young people. Your donations will help turn an empty space into a true home.
Some items we’re especially in need of include:
🧴 Hygiene products (soap, shampoo, toothpaste, etc.)
🍽️ Dishes, kitchen utensils, pots & pans
🛏️ Sheets, comforters, pillows
🧻 Toilet paper, napkins, cleaning supplies
🛋️ Furniture (small couches, dressers, chairs, etc.)
🧼 Towels, wash cloths, dish towels
Even one or two items can make a meaningful impact.
How You Can Help
Donating is easy—and so appreciated. You can:
📦 Drop off items at our office
✉️ Mail donations directly to us
💌 Spread the word to others who may want to help

You Can Be the Difference
This isn’t just about towels and dishes—it’s about dignity, stability, and hope. When you donate, you're helping youth feel supported, seen, and celebrated in this new chapter of their lives.
From the bottom of our hearts—thank you for being part of their village.
