Pantry with a Purpose
Providing basic household products to women in need
At Women’s Resource Center, we understand that getting through difficult times often means having access to the little things that keep life together. Our Pantry with a Purpose is free and made especially for women and families who need support meeting their basic needs—because items like personal hygiene supplies, cleaning products, or “welcome home” essentials are just as important as groceries. If you’re facing job loss, transition, or just want a hand to steady things, we’d love to help you feel more secure and more at home.
Our Pantry With a Purpose Kits
Standard Emergency Kits
Standard Emergency Kits of these products are subject to eligibility and not available more than once per year, per household. Please call the front desk to arrange your screening.
Welcome Home Kits
Welcome Home Kits include additional items beyond those in a Standard Emergency Kit, that are essential for establishing a new-to-you home, such as towels, brooms, mops, trash bin, etc. These are supplemental items intended for women who are moving out of homelessness into stable housing. As such, they are available only with a referral form from a partner agency who can verify the families current housing situation.
