Feels like H.O.M.E...

The group a the H.O.M.E co-op in Maine just checked in with such enthusiasm, it is no surprise that this is our longest running SBA site...21 years of service and grace!

Ashley and Pat, our fearless leaders, shared that the group has been deeply moved by the "home" that HOME creates for their guests.

Ashley and Bianca have been working in the office, where they met Mary, who has 3 bachelors degrees, but also has a disabled daughter at home which requires her to be home much of the time, and struggles to make ends meet. H.O.M.E provides her with meals, so she can be home to help her daughter.

The rest of the group is working and getting dirty in the garage, or chopping wood in the barn. They are trying to come up with a mural or woodcarving project that they can leave behind to beautify H.O.M.E, as the groups before them have done.

Despite the FOOT of snow they got today, nothing could hold these students back from serving those at H.O.M.E. ! Great work, you guys!

Peace.
