In Remembrance
Carol Riggles • March 31, 2021
Although it is hard to believe that we have been living with the COVID-19 pandemic for more than a year, we know that tragically, many of us have lost family members, good friends and colleagues to this unforgiving virus.
In honor of your loved one’s memory, we are inviting you to share a photo of a keepsake you possess that helps you keep their spirit alive. Along with the image of the keepsake, please share why this memento is so important to you and why it represents your love and memory of the person you lost.
Losing a loved one to the COVID-19 pandemic has been especially hard since we weren’t able to celebrate their lives like we normally would. Hopefully sharing what your loved ones meant to you with others can help bring you a bit of comfort in these uncertain times.
We will publish these remembrances in our Summer 2021 Newsletter. Please send to criggles@interfaithhousing.org
by May 15th.
Our hearts go out to everyone who has experienced such a painful loss

Interfaith Housing Alliance (IHA) is proud to announce two funding awards received this quarter from community partners.
Alice Buchanan moved from Frederick, MD to North Carolina to take care of her daughter, Angela, who had kidney failure. Angela was in the Navy and served for 20 years when she retired. Upon Angela’s death, Alice stayed in North Carolina to raise her daughter’s children. When the children became adults, Alice wanted to come back “home” to Frederick, MD. Alice was looking for an apartment, so she asked her friend who was living in Frederick to help her with her search. Her friend connected Alice to Weinberg House. As soon as Alice heard there was a vacant unit she immediately returned to Frederick. Alice Buchanan moved into Weinberg House on May 12, 2015. Other than Alice, there is only one other person who has lived at Weinberg House since Alice moved in.
