WHAT’S A GRAND OPENING?
A Grand Opening is when the Allgire Foundation gets to provide residents of affordable communities with some of the basics that are so easily taken for granted. We want residents moving into affordable communities to have everything they need to succeed, such as pots and pans, dishes, silverware, trash cans, cleaning supplies, hygiene items, and so much more.

Shelter Renovation Grand Opening

SBCS Shelter Grand Opening
We made some special robust move-in kits for a shelter project for South Bay Community Services. This shelter is for victims of domestic violence who must move quickly out of their current situation into a new place. Many of these victims don’t have anything but some clothes. The move-in kits, or better titled “welcome kits” provide some of the essentials so they can feel at home. We also made robust food bags so they could cook easy meals and bring a semblance of normalcy to their uprooted lives.
