When families move into AHC's affordable housing communities, we like to give them Welcome Bags filled with essential household supplies to say "welcome home."
Volunteers will purchase items and assemble the bags. The bag can be a reusable grocery size bag, small laundry basket, or bucket. For purposes of hygiene and dignity, we ask that all items are new, unopened and unused. Please make sure items fit into the bags and limit your donations to the items listed below. We do not have the space or capacity to accept other items. Most volunteers find it useful and cost-effective to purchase items in bulk, as long as each final product has all the necessary items in it. Small 8 oz containers of liquid items are best. Thank you!
A complete bag includes:
- Dish soap (1)
- Hand soap (1)
- Bleach (1)
- All purpose cleaner (1)
- Sponge (1)
- Plunger (1)
- Trash bags (1 box)
- Gloves (1 pair)
- Paper towels (1 roll)
- Toilet paper (2-4 rolls)
- Hand towel (1)
- Plastic shower curtains and hooks (1 set)
- Bucket or laundry basket to contain other items (1)
- Dustpan & mini broom (optional)
We are collecting welcome baskets for properties all across the DMV.

We have some flexibility with delivery dates and times so please reach out to volunteer@ahcinc.org to coordinate if none of the available slots work for you. Thank you for helping welcome our new neighbors home!
