Day 5: Hawthorn Hill
Hawthorn Hill works to establish and operate housing programs for homeless families with children. The work to provide services to help families achieve economic self-sufficiency.
This August our departments worked together to bring in school supplies to help families. Hawthorne Hill has also partnered with us and sent us applicants looking for work.

The Rooftop Foundation and Santa Claus made a special visit to deliver gifts to the families staying in the shelter!
Their generosity amazes us-- each year they bring toys for the kids, household items to help with the transition into housing, a gift card to help cover costs and Rooftop-Opoly, their own version of the classic game that focuses on giving back.
Thanks Deever family and Rooftop Foundation for your support!
We love all the great work Hawthorn Hill does. We love spreading Christmas joy.
Priceless!
We'd like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the members of the Roosevelt High School Nat'l Honor Society for the wonderful and plentiful Christmas gift drive they organized for Hawthorn Hill. Very impressive! Thank you all for thinking of our families this Christmas.
We'd like to shout out our heartfelt thanks to our wonderful friends and partners at Chrysalis Foundation for their very generous Community Partner Grant in support of our New Directions Shelter program. We appeciate you and we thank you!
The holidays must be upon us! We know this because our wonderful friends at Deever Roofing's Rooftop Foundation just delivered a truck load of needed supplies (laundry pods, paper goods, food, snacks, disinfectant spray, lotion, etc.) to New Directions Shelter! They also have some pull with Santa Claus who will visit our shelter families in a couple of weeks. We are so grateful for their ongoing, incredibly generous support. Thank you, Rooftop Foundation!
We're grateful to receive this awesome tree from the Blank Children's Hospital's Festival of Trees and Lights for New Directions Shelter.
This one is filled with 292 collectable Hallmark ornaments, the oldest dating back to 1982. This tree really brightens up the shelter for families staying during the holiday season!New Directions Tree
