During February and March we completed our Making A House a Home project for a formerly homeless family with two children. With the generosity of our donors, we were able to fully stock a new home for a deserving family, providing them with everything they needed to start fresh. From furniture to kitchenware, linens to everyday essentials – our wishlist was cleared in record time, thanks to the outpouring of support from individuals who truly care about making a difference.
But the impact didn’t stop there. Sending Hope Ohio and Boldwomen Cleaning Services stepped in to offer invaluable professional mentorship and marketing guidance, helping the family take an important step forward by launching their very own family business. This support not only helped them settle into their new home but also set them up for future success, reinforcing the power of community in fostering long-term independence and growth.
LEGACY OF REV. DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.
In January, we had the honor of participating in an event hosted by Denison University to honor the legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The theme, “Building the Beloved Community: Service, Civic Engagement, and the Path Forward,” brought together a range of activities, including a conversation panel with leading experts, a resource fair for creating change in our communities (which we were proud to participate in), an MLK march, brunch, and multiple workshops focused on civic engagement. It was an inspiring and impactful event that highlighted the ongoing need for service and action in our communities. We extend a special thank you to Denison University for the invitation and for organizing such a meaningful gathering.
