team of professionals who oversee the work of Miriam’s House. We
are so pleased to welcome them to the Board of Directors and value
their commitment to our mission of ending homelessness.

industry for over 30 years, with a focus on sales and marketing and

throughout the community and served on our board in the 1990’s.

GET INVOLVED
T
here are so many ways for you to get involved with
our work of ending homelessness! Here are just a few
opportunities, but we would love to talk with you more
about how you can contribute toward our mission to end
homelessness through the empowerment of women and
families.
• Adopt a family moving out of homelessness through
assisting them with the logistics of moving, bringing
them a hot meal on their first night in a new place or
unpacking boxes
• Purchase extra household supplies (toilet paper, all purpose cleaners, trash bags) when you’re out shopping
and drop them off for our families to use
• Provide a welcoming home to those seeking shelter
with us by planting flowers and picking weeds
• Be a Table Captain at our 17th Annual Luncheon by
inviting 9 friends to join you for lunch as you support
our work
Follow us on Facebook to learn of more opportunities to
get involved with life at Miriam’s House. It takes all of us
joining together to ensure that homelessness is rare, brief
and nonrecurring in our community!
