Robert has been working for about a year to obtain housing after being homeless for 13 years.

Pots, pans, cutlery, utensils, baking dishes, dishes, mixing bowls, cleaning supplies, laundry baskets, laundry & dish detergent, bath and kitchen towels, shower curtains with rings, pillows, full & queen sheet sets, lamps are all items needed.
