Mission
To provide essential items and needs to those in need.
The Essential House ignores race, job status, housing, nationality, sexual orientation, who someone loves, what their religious beliefs are, what organizations they belong to or what their political views are.
We simply believe in helping other human beings as much as we are possibly able to.

About The Essential House
The idea to help all those in need with no restrictions comes from over 35 years working with people in communities while serving in law enforcement, Child and Family Services, and other career functions. Over the years, I have seen different organizations only help those who are part of their group, if you meet a certain matrix in the government program, or if you believe a certain ideology.
Providing everyone possible with food, clothing, hygiene products and other daily essentials is vital to human survival and their mental health. Doing the right thing is simple: helping other human beings.
The Essential House cuts through the red tape: who knows who, who believes a certain way and who belongs to what organization. We believe in giving help and providing that assistance with as little delay as possible. No one pays for anything, and nothing is expected in return.
