Baskets were filled with essential household items, such as laundry soap, utensils, toiletries, and towels, which will benefit clients at Institute for Human Services.  Every year the donations  help families and individuals get a head start when moving from being homeless to having a permanent home.

The Legislative Women’s Caucus is a bipartisan organization that consists of the women Senators and women members of the House of Representatives.  The Caucus works closely with women’s organizations and concerned individuals across the State, as well as with the Governor, state agencies and other legislators to advocate for programs and services that benefit women.
