SUMMER 2017 E-NEWSLETTER

Homecoming BBQ

August 9th was a beautiful summer day at Joseph's House. Guests, volunteers, community partners, landlords, former guests and staff filled the JHOC parking lot to enjoy the afternoon. Thanks to the generosity of P.J. Whelihan's, Mr.Softee and Sun Farms attendees were treated to delicious burgers, buffalo nuggets, fries, ice cream, cantaloupe and watermelons.

Attendees enjoyed the music, games and food but most importantly they enjoyed the normalcy of the day - for a few short hours it was an opportunity for our guests not to feel like they were homeless - but to feel like regular people enjoying a summer BBQ with their family and friends.
