Thank you to SOAR for your wonderful donation!
The group of volunteers pictured here are from All Saint’s Episcopal Church who assisted with cooking meals for SOAR (Supporting older Adults through Resources, Inc.) and delivering them to the Weinberg House. The volunteers are made up of Oakwood High School Students, a school nurse, and college students who are home for Thanksgiving.
Each resident received a FULL Thanksgiving meal with all the trimmings to each resident, plus a bag of groceries and crotched lap blankets. Volunteers greeted residents with warm greetings and took the time to bring all items into each apartment. The residents were very thankful for the wonderful holiday gifts.
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.
