For most families coming to My Father’s House, the first few moments after entering their new apartment home are emotional. The door opens, and they find themselves in a space specially prepared for them: brand new linens and kitchen supplies are in place, the room is decorated with a personal touch that seems to fit them just right, and each child has a little something especially for them.
This magical moment happens every day because of individuals, families or groups who adopt a room and commit to renewing it each time a new family moves in. For more information about adopting a room, call the shelter at 503-492-3046, or email Cathe Wiese at cathe@familyshelter.org.
