If you've ever owned an older home (or bought a "fixer-upper" or "handyman's special") you know there's always a project or two waiting to be done ... and then a few more after that.
Well, Laurel House's shelter is a 9-bedroom residential home built before 1900. There's a kitchen, living room and common areas, office space, a playroom for the kids, and a quiet space where kids do homework and read. Out back, we have a small garden and playground.
Each year, more than 400 people live with us. And as you might imagine, the maintenance needs are considerable. Much of the work is done by staff and volunteers, but you can help. There are constant needs for maintenance supplies and for those larger jobs, a few hours from a professional Mr. or Ms. Fix-It.
You can make a gift in honor or in memory of someone special this Father's Day. Simply visit our secure online donation page here, drop us an email at mfirman@laurel-house.org, or call our offices at 610-277-1860. If you'd like, you can learn a little more about our shelter and transitional housing programs here.
We thank you for helping to keep Laurel House safe ... and for helping more than 400 families have a safe haven from abuse while they rebuild their lives.
