The Details Made a Meaningful Difference
“Everyone was so appreciative! They really noticed the personalization and care that went into putting these together. I don’t believe we’ve received anything quite like this before, recipes and ingredients paired with the actual appliances and kitchen items needed to prepare them. You could really tell that the pantry was intentional about thinking through the things our clients may not have access to, such as a can opener, measuring spoons, & spatulas. I really don’t want to understate how much these details matter. The pantry provided recipes and ingredients that allow our clients to prepare meals they may not otherwise have the opportunity to make. The messages the pantry included in the cookbook were also incredibly thoughtful. The care that went into each item truly came through, and our clients were very grateful.”

How It Works
Carefully planned
Recipes are developed around affordable, shelf-stable ingredients and the equipment provided in each pantry.
Connected through community partners
Welcome Home Pantry works with organizations serving people who are transitioning into housing or beginning again.
Packed together
Food, cookware, kitchen tools, household supplies and personal-care essentials are assembled into one complete pantry.
Made to keep helping
The cookware, utensils, and recipe guide remain useful after the original food has been eaten, giving recipients tools and ideas they can continue using.
