Holiday Reflections and a Transformative Gift
As we enter this season of light, gratitude, and giving, I’m reminded of the tremendous power our community holds when we come together for our most vulnerable neighbors. The holidays can be a difficult time for families experiencing homelessness, but because of supporters like you, they are also a time filled with hope, warmth, and the promise of new beginnings.
This month, we are humbled to share extraordinary news that will deepen our impact in the year ahead. Harford Family House has been selected to receive a significant one-time grant from Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez through the Bezos Day 1 Families Fund. We are one of only 32 organizations nationwide chosen by an independent advisory group of homelessness experts for our proven commitment to helping families find stability, secure housing, and build brighter futures right here in Harford County.
This investment affirms the hard work of our staff, the resilience of the families we serve, and the strength of a community that believes every child deserves a safe place to call home.
As we celebrate the holidays, we hope you’ll reflect, just as we do, on the transformative impact of generosity. Every act of kindness, every hour volunteered, every donation made extends a lifeline to a parent working toward stability, to a child wishing for a better tomorrow, and to individuals striving to rebuild their lives.
From all of us at Harford Family House, thank you for keeping the spirit of giving alive. Your support ensures that hope shines a little brighter for the families we serve.
Wishing you peace, joy, and a meaningful holiday season.
With gratitude and warm wishes,
Robin Tomechko, CEO
Sandra Osborn, Board Chair
