Families in Transition (FIT), is a nonprofit organization located in Manchester, Concord, and Dover New Hampshire that helps the growing population of homeless individuals in our community. FIT has been committed to providing only the most innovative, comprehensive, and effective interventions specifically designed to help homeless individuals and families reach beyond the cycle of homelessness to lead healthy and successful lives. Our belief is that having a home is a basic human right and is fundamental to becoming an engaged and contributing member of our community.

Our OutFITters Thrift Stores are a revenue stream for Families in Transition, with 100% of store proceeds benefitting the individuals and families we serve. Together, the stores generate over $100,000 in sales revenue annually to support FIT housing and services for the homeless in Manchester and Concord. Families in Transition owns and operates two nonprofit thrift stores in Manchester and Concord, NH. Additionally, participants at Families in Transition are given vouchers to the store upon entering FIT housing so that they can purchase basic living necessities.

Mission Statement

At Families in Transition our mission is To Prevent and Break the Cycle of Homelessness. There are countless ways to get involved with Families in Transition. At the heart of everything we do are individuals and organizations that choose to donate their time, money and services to help us make a difference in the lives of so many.

Description

Volunteering within the agency is a great opportunity to really see our mission at work and to connect with our staff and participants. Some of these volunteer opportunities include shifts at the food pantry, serving a meal at the shelter, sorting donations at Outfitters, helping with building maintenance, and supporting our staff with various administrative projects. We have opportunities for both individuals and groups as well as on-going and one-time projects.
