This summer, we had more
young people in our program
than ever before. With 70
kids, we needed all hands on
deck.

people of Our House? “I love the idea
of Our House,” Jay says. “It has a
purpose and goal that I believe is an
effective way to serve the homeless.
Our House has an irresistible atmosphere of growing stronger through
community. The kids give me such a
great joy through their creativity,
enthusiasm, and curiosity. That is why
I keep coming back to Our House.”

Jay volunteered so frequently
& with such professionalism
& reliability that I forgot he
was not one of our summer
staff. I also cannot believe
that he is still in high school!
This young man serves with
a maturity & depth of
character that is unusual for
someone of any age.
Jay says he wants to serve
his community after college.
He is already making a
tremendous impact on his
city & its citizens through
his service at Our House.
