18th Apartment Cleaned and Furnished for Adopt-An-Apartment Program
On August 2nd, members of Trinity and St. James Pitman completed the cleaning and furnishing of an 18th apartment for the Brethren Housing Association’s Adopt-An-Apartment Program. Located in Harrisburg, this apartment is a first floor, two-bedroom residence which will become a home for a young mother and her family. As always, a big thank-you to all who helped clean, and for donating and transporting the items needed to complete the furnishing of this apartment and helping to make it a home for a young mother and her family.
BHA has programs or partners with other organizations to help young mothers become self-sufficient. Included is job training/seeking/maintaining services, parenting education, life skills training, counseling services, and youth programs for the kids. BHA staff and volunteers continuously show these moms the love and care they need to develop and realize their own self-worth, empowering them to overcome the obstacles that lead them to the homelessness situation.
