Welcome Baskets
Our clients typically do not have any of the things people need when they move into a new apartment. While it’s exciting for them to walk into their new space, we could use some help truly making their spaces “home.”
We are looking for individuals or groups who are interested in putting together “Welcome Baskets,” full of some of the new-home essentials, for our clients who are soon-to-be-housed. If interested in helping put together a Welcome Basket please contact Kait for more information.

CCEH is actively working on “Paths Toward Housing Solutions” for individuals experiencing long-term homelessness.
CCEH cannot end homelessness in our community without broad-based support. CCEH has taken the lead with many community partners to work toward creating housing solutions.
Since 2008, the Resource Center has been helping guests who are homeless, or at imminent risk of becoming homeless, meet their immediate needs and connect with resources that are available to them.
CCEH operates the Emergency Winter Shelter, providing a warm bed for 40 individuals within our community’s most vulnerable population. The Shelter is located at 238 N Main Street in Concord.
