Happy Monday from Sarah's House!

Gratitude is the well deserved theme for today, as we stopped by the Niftee Thriftee Shoppe in Pasadena to personally thank them (along with some tasty cookies!) for all the generous support provided to Sarah's House over the past several years. Niftee Thriftee, which has been in operation since 1973, is run through Magothy United Methodist Church in Pasadena.

Sarah's House is truly blessed to enjoy the support of so many friends in the community. Many hands don't only make for light work, but they help to change lives.

Happy Wednesday from everyone here at Sarah's House!

Do you want to know of a great way to support our program and those whom we serve? Sarah's House currently has a high priority need for new bed pillows, which we use to stock our many shelter rooms as we welcome new families and clients.

Thank you in advance for your consideration and help!

Sarah's House is so fortunate to enjoy the support of so many volunteers who share in our work. Check out one of our favorites, Mr. Mike!

"I became a volunteer at Friends of Sarah's House through my association with the Ignatian Volunteer Corps (IVC) in early 2022. I initially volunteered in the Day Care Center, but my time there was cut short because of the COVID-19 pandemic. During that time, Bruce Clopein asked me to help make donor thank-you calls, which I continue to do.

After COVID-19 restrictions were lifted, I began volunteering at the front desk, where I continue to serve today.

As I mentioned, my involvement with IVC helped lead me to Sarah’s House. I am retired and a widower, and I wanted to find a meaningful way to give back and become involved in charitable work. When an opportunity became available at Sarah’s House, it felt like a natural fit. The shelter is also close to my home, making it convenient for me to volunteer regularly.

My experience at Sarah’s House has been very rewarding. I enjoy working with the staff and feel that my contributions are appreciated. I am grateful to be part of Sarah’s House and deeply appreciate the important work the organization does to support individuals and families experiencing homelessness."

Sarah's House is truly blessed to enjoy the support of so many generous and thoughtful friends within our community.

The latest example of Love of Neighbor can be found compliments of Elizabeth and Shirley along with their colleagues at Erickson Senior Living, which organized a huge wish list drive of diapers, toiletries, and paper products for our program. Check out these two vehicles loaded to the brim with donations! Given the large size of Sarah's House, drives such as this are a great and impactful way to support our work.

A big thank you to Shirley, Elizabeth, and everyone at Erickson Senior Living, and to all of our friends in the community for your partnership! :)

Happy Tuesday from Sarah's House!

Our clients were treated to some special visitors yesterday, when volunteer barbers and stylists through the The Hill Church in nearby Jessup stopped by once again to provide services. The awesome people pictured are Valerie Walker, Journey Walker, Tiara Barnes, and Jermaine Lemon. Suffice it to say, love of neighbor (and great looking haircuts) was on full display. :)

We thank the The Hill Church and these wonderful volunteers for their outreach ministry to Sarah's House and those whom we serve!
