New clients arrive at SVDP with very little. What a positive and reassuring greeting to someone who has so little to offer a basket (gender appropriate) with their own new underwear, comb and brush, a mirror, deodorant, tooth brush and toothpaste, slippers or socks, perfume, jewelry, and gown and robe.

Food baskets can also be prepared for single parent families at De Paul apartments or for residents at Tranquil who are diagnosed with a mental illness.
