Advocates Member Service Projects:

Welcome Kits – Oftentimes, Residents arrive with very few belongings, and it takes a while for them to get on their feet. Building Welcome Kits with mini bottles of shampoo, conditioner, toothbrush, toothpaste, etc., to be distributed is a great way to help New Residents. Individuals and corporations have created these for The 24 in the past and they are instrumental in helping our newcomers get settled. The Advocates will create these in February/March of every year.

Resident Toy Market - For the past several years, The 24 has hosted a Resident Toy Market with the support of the Community. Our Residents are parents, grandparents, aunts and/or uncles who, for many years, have been unable to provide a gift to their loved ones. The Toy Market gives the Residents the opportunity to "shop" for gifts and wrap their items. This important event has opened communication for our Residents to reconnect with family and loved ones. 

Resident Stockings – Holidays in early Recovery can be challenging since many families and loved ones have not yet welcomed Residents back home. At The 24, we try to bridge this gap and fill the family-like house with the Holiday Spirit by providing Holiday Stockings filled with goodies for each of the Residents. 

Tillman House Move Out Gifts - As Residents at Tillman House transition to independent living, they often face the challenge of funding an entirely new room or apartment since most things have been provided to them at Tillman House. The Move Out gift allows our Residents to choose one essential item such as bedding, kitchenware, a lamp or other household products up to $50 to help ease this transition.
