Photos of life at HHCS
Here's a picture of some of the Harbor House Staff (L-R: Kelly
Isaacson, Outreach Coordinator, Elaine Jersett, TLC Coordinator, Allyse
Jersett, (Elaine's daughter) and Kris Westerlund, Program Coordinator) at
the Women's Expo held at the Dultuh Entertainment Convention Center on March
9, 2010. It was a sold-out event and a great way to make the public aware of
Harbor House. Here we are selling "Designs by Lucinda" pins, which serve as
a fundraiser for HHCS. Lucinda is a great success story for our clients
because she herself used to be homeless. She began making the pins to earn
more cash and it boomed into a business, and now she helps supports
non-profits.
This is a photo of some vendors who participated in our second Annual Spa Day
for Women, which serves as one of HHCS' primary fundraisers throughout the
year. We were able to raise just over $1000 last year, so it was a great
success!
This photo is from 2008, but it is one that makes the staff at HHCS
proud...it is the day of the ribbon cutting for our Transitional Living
Center. It was a day of answered prayer for all of us, and we know God truly
provided to make that day possible. Here Barb is saying some remarks to the
group.
