Home Start Hope provides brand new, essential household items to women and their children transitioning to independent living from emergency shelters in Rochester, NY.  At Home Start Hope we serve women who have experienced homelessness including veterans, women recovering from addiction and survivors of domestic violence.

Home Start Hope is a house in the city where women select brand new kitchen, bedroom and bathroom essentials. Women choose everything they need to start over in their new home completely free of charge. It may seem like a small thing, picking out towels or bedding, but for women who are starting over, it’s so much more than that. It’s about a new beginning, a sense of ownership and sense of HOPE for a brighter future. When they feel settled at home, they can focus on their families.

Since 2010 we have met the needs of more than 526 women and 522 children! Your donation ensures Home Start Hope can continue to provide this life changing experience for even more women and children.
