Our Family
Our staff works together to make sure each and every family feels welcome when they walk into our House. Our staff is small but mighty. We take the time to care, listen and welcome every family into our House and make sure their individual needs are being met.
From day-to-day operations and maintenance of our House, to fundraising and coordinating volunteers, our team is committed to making our House a home.
Staff

She works with partners and donors, community outreach, team leadership, oversees successful fundraising events and project management.
Ruth has been involved with our House since it was built. She knows everything there is to know about what our families need and require to get the most out of their stay with us. Ruth covers our office during weekday afternoons and evenings and works directly with guest family referrals and stay requests. Ruth also coordinates and manages our volunteers.
ZaQuan covers our office during the week. His primary focus is ensuring our families are well cared for and keeping the House clean and comfortable for them during their stay. He and our House Manager work hand-in-hand to provide consistent, high-quality service to our guests all day long. ZaQuan also greets and handles drop-off donations.
