Because House N2 Home uses generous donations of furniture and household items from the community, the financial obligation for a move is typically low. 

 

However, there are some expenses. We estimate that $600 covers all the costs associated with a "typical" client move. This includes a pro-rated expense for van (gas, maintenance and insurance), hourly rate for "heavy lifters", painting (if necessary), toiletries, cleaning supplies, household basic items, mattress encasements, shower liner, possibly a new mattress, and any other specific items we need to purchase for the client.

Are you interested in volunteering as a group? What we really need is for groups to do drives for items that we would otherwise need to purchase.

We have specific lists, but examples are:

Cleaning items (in a bucket):​

• All purpose cleaner

• Abrasive cleaner (Comet / Bon Ami)

• Cleaning cloths and sponges

• Brillo/SOS pads

• Dish soap

• Dishwasher pods

• Toilet bowl brush & container

Household items: 

• Paper towels - 2 rolls

• Toilet paper - 6/8

• Kleenex - 2

• Laundry pods 

• Aluminum foil

• Kitchen trash bags (13 gallon)

• Bathroom trash bags (small)

• Toothbrushes

• Toothpaste

• Floss

• 2 hand soap in dispensers (bathroom and kitchen) 

• Bar soap (for shower)

• Female products on request

​​

• NEW Mattress encasements and pillow protectors are used for every move. 

• Another useful drive is to ask for specific items, for example:

  • Small kitchen appliance drive: toasters, blenders, mixers, microwaves, crockpots, panini makers.

  • Bathroom drive: new towels, bath mats, over door hangers, shower curtains, shower liners, shower curtain rings, soap dispenser, small garbage cans.

  • Bedroom drive: comforter, sheet sets, pillow protectors, mattress encasements, small rugs, small bedside tables.

• You get the picture!

​

We have also had groups paint furniture.
