HomeFront Receives an Early Christmas Gift!

There is not a bit of ambiguity when it comes to the name of HomeFront's Family Preservation Center. That is exactly what the center is all about and what it continues to accomplish each day. Not an easy task in the best of circumstances, family preservation becomes even more challenging and difficult when the families in question have lost the grounding of their own home or temporary shelter. And while the reasons are legion and often linked, homelessness recently seems to be hitting families harder than individuals. <<Read more>> |
Thank You From Connie Mercer

What a wonderful, caring, and generous community we live in! Last summer, we at HomeFront asked you to help us send the children of homeless families back to school with new clothes and backpacks. And your response made the new school year special for 1245 children. And then in November, you provided more than 1400 of our client families with a real Thanksgiving feast, with all the trimmings. |
Most recently, you filled the Christmas wish lists of 2934 children of homeless, very low-income families, giving them a Christmas they would never have had without you. I wish you all could have been there when their parents, many literally with tears in their eyes, picked up the presents that they would never have been able to give their children. You made the celebration special for both the children and adults, particularly because they knew you cared.
As a social service agency, HomeFront’s primary role is to see that our client families have shelter, food, and all the services and supports that will enable them to become successfully independent. Our budget simply doesn’t allow for any “frills.” We are so grateful to our thoughtful community for adding all the things that bring our families so much joy and pleasure. “Thank you” isn’t really adequate for your amazing support, but it comes from our hearts.
