November is Homelessness Awareness Month and this year’s theme is “It’s Bigger Than Us – Investing in the Future of Our Community.” In that vein, we are hoping to recruit various segments of the community to help spread awareness, as the implications of homelessness in our community affect us all.

Last fiscal year we served 39 families (including 81 children) and 360 individuals (including 27 veterans). As you may know, it takes a lot of resources to get our residents on their feet and on the path to long-term independence and stable housing, and much of their immediate needs are the simple things we take for granted. Would you be willing to help us?

We are asking local faith-based communities, businesses, schools, sports teams, and groups of all sorts to host supply drives throughout the month of November. Our current supply needs are listed here: https://harfordfamilyhouse.org/how-you-can-help/wish-list/

One more, exciting thing. We have designated November 28th as the official donation-drop off day. We invite you to our HFH Family Shelter in Aberdeen to drop off donations between 12pm-4pm, enjoy refreshments, meet our staff and mingle with fellow members of the community who decided to make a difference too.

For a flyer to share with family and friends, or a social media image and verbiage to share digitally, contact Vashelle Nino at vnino@harfordfamilyhouse.org. Thank you!
