Our House e-newsletter Spring 2015 | Page 24

by Prentis Jones, Mariah Nehus, & Amanda N. Woods Eileen Daily In January, Our House held one of our quarterly Open Closet events. Eileen graciously stayed through the entire event, helping provide child care as well as assistance & guidance to our residents. She helped set up & take down the event. Eileen has also volunteered with previous Open Closet events. Simplified Online Communications Systems Jerry Martin from SOCS donated 100 pairs of socks to the Shelter in February. New residents frequently enter the Shelter without a change of clothes, so basics like socks & underwear are always needed. We’re deeply appreciative of companies that gave their resources to benefit our residents & keep everyone’s feet warm this winter. Hampton Inn And Suites Hampton Inn And Suites donated several boxes full of sheets for our clients. The Shelter always needs clean, white, twin sheets & pillowcases. Bigger-size bedding is great for Family House or CAFSI clients who may have larger beds. Hampton’s donation will help many of our families have comfortable nights.
