Discovery House

The realm of possibility lies in discovery.

So much has been happening so quickly with the transitional house. We’ve decided to use the name Discovery House. The program for these families really is about discovery…their needs, their dreams, their strengths, their future, what programs, education and jobs can move them from dependency to self-sufficiency and the process to get them there. There are a lot of hoops to jump through in arranging transfers to new schools, transportation, and before/after school programs, their space availability and costs.

Ways you can help: Provide and serve a meal, provide transportation, tutor, childcare, hair cuts, administrative support, organizing, moving furniture, putting on a movie night in our theater, provide an outing (take a guest along on your zoo pass, science center or EMP or other membership passes), donate groceries, paper goods and/or cleaning supplies, and the list goes on.

Do you belong to a group either at church or through a club or your neighborhood? Is your business looking for a volunteer opportunity for your employees? I could come give a lunch hour presentation.

Give me a call or send me an email. I would love an opportunity to come talk to your group to show a 3 minute video about the transitional house and answer questions on how you can help. One idea for a group would be the possibility of sponsoring me as the resident manager or a bedroom in the house with a monthly financial contribution. Be creative. I’m open to any ideas you’d like to share.

Be looking for an invitation to an upcoming “Jewelry Party Like No Other” to donate precious metals and shop from the jewelry mistaken for precious metals that was donated. Some great pieces that would make wonderful Christmas gifts. You might want to pick something up for yourself.
