HOME's Article in the Statesman Journal!


The Statesman Journal ran an article on February 13th about the work that the First Christian Church has done for HOME over the years. In particular, the article highlighted the wonderful improvements that the Ambassador’s club has done for us recently such as purchasing computers, building shelves for the computer room as well as furnishing it, installing flooring, donating a new stove, and donating a new frost-free freezer. A dedication ceremony celebrated the completion of the Club’s one-year remodeling project. Members from the church’s congregation were invited to see all that the Ambassadors had done. There were typed signs hung with blue tape on the improvements to credit the Ambassadors for all their hard work. About 30 members from the church walked through HOME and loved the new improvements, and so do we.
            The First Christian Church Ambassadors’ Club first began helping us out three years ago with things such as cooking holiday meals, cleaning, and installing a bike rack. The improvement project was their largest contribution so far. Funds for the project were raised with three musical performances and a $7,950 grant from the church. The project took 500 hours to complete. We appreciate the time and effort of the Ambassadors’ Club and we definitely love the new, revamped computer room, kitchen floor, and appliances.
A short, 30 second video can be seen on the Statesman Journal website (along with the article) at the following link:
