Free furniture, home essentials offered to Wilmington families in need
A couch, a bed, a kitchen table — basic items many take for granted — are often missing when some Delaware families first move into housing. A new Wilmington-based initiative is working to change that. The Foundation Project, launched by Wilmington City Council member and business owner Alexander Hackett, provides free furniture and household essentials to first-time renters, homebuyers, seniors and residents receiving housing assistance. The goal is to help families build a stable foundation once they've moved into the home. Since its soft launch in June, Hackett says the program has already served more than 75 families with items like sofas, beds, dressers and nightstands. What began with deliveries from trucks and cars is now moving to a publicly accessible location. The Foundation Project will open its new hub inside the Wilmington Public Library's Dickinson Room at 10 E. 10th St. While large item deliveries will continue, residents will also be able to browse in person. HERE TO HELP: These Delaware programs bring essential resources directly to residents in need Available items range from electronics like Echo Dot smart speakers and Ring cameras to everyday essentials like soap, laundry detergent and deodorant. Both new and gently used furniture—like couches, beds, and tables—will be available, as well as kitchenware. The effort is supported by partnerships with local businesses and organizations, allowing the program, through its parent organization Community Cares, to distribute an estimated $50,000 to $60,000 in goods back into the community, Hackett said. But the initiative goes beyond material support. Hackett says the mission is about creating long-term stability. 'The first step is getting the housing,' he said. 'We want to continue to be part of the support system that helps build the foundation for our families in the state of Delaware.' The grand opening for the Foundation Project is set for June 21, with regular hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5 to 7 p.m., and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Hackett encourages qualifying residents to visit the Foundation Project's new location and take advantage of the resources available.

Huge Ring sale ahead of Amazon Prime Day — 7 deals I'd shop with up to 50% off
Amazon Prime Day is on the horizon, but if you're looking to upgrade your smart home, there's no need to wait. Right now some of the best video doorbells and security cameras we've tested are seeing impressive discounts. Amazon's Ring sale is packed with awesome savings. For example, you can get the Ring Battery Doorbell on sale for just $49 at Amazon. We rank this as the best Ring doorbell you can get for under $100, so with 50% off, it's a total steal. Some of these deals are reserved for Amazon Prime members, but you can sign up for a free trial if you're not already a member. There's also a chance some of these items will see bigger discounts on Prime Day itself, but shopping early is a great way to ensure you get the items you want before they sell out. For more savings, see our Amazon promo codes coverage, and check out the Nintendo Switch game deals I'd shop from $9. At just $49, the best value Ring Video Doorbell got even better. The newest of Ring's doorbells has head-to-toe video and package detection. You can't replace its battery, but it's a fantastic option at this price. If you don't need a spotlight or a floodlight, the Stick Up Cam is a cheaper way to monitor the outside of your house. It features 1080p video and two-way talk. This deal is available for both the plug-in and the battery-powered model. The Ring Indoor Cam (2023) can record 1080p video, scare off intruders with a built-in siren, and detect motion in specified zones. It is more compact than the previous model with the addition of a new privacy shutter and upgraded mount. Right now you can get a two-pack for $59 — that's the same price as a single camera. The Ring Battery Doorbell can be easily installed to watch your front door, while the Indoor Cam can be set up in less than ten minutes to view the interior of your home and give you a 1080p HD view complete with motion detection and a privacy cover. Though the Indoor Cam does require a power outlet, it also provides two way audio and noise cancellation and has a wide field of view. The Ring Battery Doorbell is our best value choice for Ring doorbells because it delivers the features we like most in Ring doorbells but still costs less than $100. We rank the Ring Battery Doorbell Plus as the best video doorbell on the market. While this Wired version must be plugged in, it's still a good buy with this discount. We like that it features 1080p HD video and useful features like Two-Way Talk. This Ring camera offers protection for your home night and day with its 1080p video feed, Color Night vision, and a spotlight that can illuminate its surroundings. Plus it runs off battery power so you can set it up wherever it's needed. Right now you can get a two pack of cameras for a nice $100 discount. If you're looking for a Ring alarm kit without the doorbell, then the 14-piece kit (suitable for 2-4 bed homes) is worth checking out. You can save 39% off the usual price, and comes complete with two keypads, one base station, eight contact sensors, two motion detectors, and one range extender.
