Sending a heartfelt thanks to The Jim Allen Group in coordination with The Green Chair Project for furnishing one of our emergency shelter units so beautifully. Families in crisis will find a safe and peaceful setting when they arrive, which will allow them to begin focusing on the goal of finding permanent housing.
We’re so glad to have interns from @meredithcollege helping out with the children’s program during our bi-weekly workshops for parents receiving housing support and services from Families Together. The kids had a blast playing games last week with the interns along with our AmeriCorps Vistas Holly and Sadie. These activities are creating lasting, positive memories for kids whose families are going through some very tough times. #LetsFaceIt #childrenareourfuture
Our thanks goes out to @org4success Emily Parks, Productivity Consultant and Owner of Organize for Success, for her presentation on productivity and organization at work. Emily presented on behalf of NAPO-NC during one of our August staff meetings, and we hung on every word as she shared tips and advice on how to be more productive with our time, energy, and resources during the workday. Our team has been working to implement what we learned, and it’s making a difference. We appreciate you, Emily!
A great big shout-out to two of our member churches, Good Shepherd Lutheran Church and St. Philip Lutheran Church for recently using their day of service, “God’s Work, Our Hands” to help us with much-needed landscaping, clearing out our shed, repairing our vegetable garden beds, and making repairs to our stairs. Thank you all so very much! #dayofservice
Update on our newly renovated offices: we’ve had inspections this week, with a final inspection scheduled for next week. We are SO CLOSE and can’t wait to share the big reveal! #newoffice #nochildwithoutahome
Meaghan, Corey, and Sadie had an exciting day yesterday picking out furniture for apartments that we're leasing through our exciting new Affordable Housing program. Our goal is to lease 10 units so families can quickly have a stable roof overhead while we work with them to increase their savings and capacity to afford a place on their own. We were thrilled to be able to get furniture from our partners at The Green Chair Project. Thank you to our talented team for making these apartments feel like home, and thank you to The Green Chair Project for your generosity and support!
Update on Amber, whose story was covered by WRAL TV in July: THIS SMILE SAYS IT ALL! As mentioned in her story with WRAL, Amber worked full-time and lived with her four kids and a therapy dog in a local motel. After five months in the motel and dedicated housing search and advocacy from the Families Together team for the last several months, Amber finally signed a lease to a place where she and her family can make a home. In the Raleigh/Wake rental market, the challenge of finding affordable housing for hourly wage workers - even with a voucher - is enormous. Families Together is dedicated to ensuring that children in our community never have to wonder where they're going to sleep at night. Thank you to all of our ongoing and new supporters who joined together to make the dream of a home a reality for Amber and her family. Our Mentor Advocates will continue to work with her for up to a year to help ensure her long-term housing success. CONGRATULATIONS, Amber!
On this 9/11 Day of Service, we are so grateful to have volunteers from IBM, Red Hat, Cognetik, Wake County DHHS, and Ardmore Residential supporting Families Together. Despite the hot and humid day, these wonderful volunteers are in great spirits as they clear ditches and storm drains to keep the property of our Short-Term Family Housing safe and maintained. We can't say thank you enough for your community service!
Let the paint fly! #LOVEweek2019 with @elevationchurch is underway!
