Every day, families, youth, seniors, and individuals in our community transition out of homelessness and into permanent housing. But while they now have a roof over their heads, they often move in with nothing. This means no bed to sleep on, no towels to dry off with, no pots to cook a meal.

CAC's The Pillow Project exists to change that.

In partnership with the community support, we’re collecting essential household items to help our neighbors settle into their new homes with dignity and comfort. If you’re unable to donate physical goods, you can still make a powerful impact by giving online.

Your gift helps provide:

$10 – A soft, comfortable pillow for restful sleep
$15 – Towels and washcloths for daily hygiene
$25 – Basic hygiene items like soap, shampoo, and toothpaste
$50 – Household cleaning supplies, including a mop and broom
$75 – Bedding for warmth and comfort
$100 – A full cookware set to prepare nourishing meals

These items may seem small, but they make a big difference. They help people focus their limited income on rent and utilities, while creating a space that feels safe, clean, and truly like home.

You can be the reason someone sleeps well tonight.
You can help a family cook their first meal in their new kitchen.
You can give someone the tools to start fresh.

Together, we can turn empty apartments into welcoming homes.
