About Our Kits
Every kit is lovingly put together with great thought towards making it as beautiful as possible. Many of the items in the kit are hand-made with love. The women's kits are beautifully color coordinated. Each child's kit follows a color theme inspired by a book, action figure, or doll and is age and gender appropriate. 100% of our kits are made from donated items and all are created by our marvelous volunteers. Our goal is to let these families in crisis know that they are loved by us in the community and by their Heavenly Father. And to inspire them to have hope for the future.
Each kit contains a card with a message of hope and love. Every child's kit contains a lovely felt heart. Imagine the trauma the children are feeling being taken away from everything that is familiar to them; their home, friends, school, all their belongings and going to a strange place. Finding these bags of love on their bed as they enter the shelter is a huge comfort. We often hear that the children repeat over and over, "Is this really mine?"
We give 4 basic types of kits: Battered Women's Shelter Kits, Sexual Assault Kits, Refugee Kits, and Police Kits.

Sexual Assault Kits
What are they?
When a victim of sexual assault is brought to the hospital, often their clothes and anything else they had with them will be taken for evidence in hopes of finding DNA of the attacker. These kits help victims of sexual assault by giving them clothing, self care items, and a reminder that there is still some good in the world.
