HomeStretch enjoys the support of a wide variety of donors and volunteers who work together to fulfill our mission. This month, we welcome three new partners as apartment sponsors. As a sponsor, they will donate recurring funds to offset monthly expenses associated with owning and maintaining our apartments – funds that enable us to provide stable housing for our families. In addition to funding, each sponsoring organization has the opportunity to furnish their apartment and mentor their resident families. Our sponsors are vital to our work.Welcome and thank you to:
- Dunwoody United Methodist Church (DUMC).
- Charity Guild of St. Ives and Greater Johns Creek
- Market Source
Hear a word from each new sponsor on how they became involved with HomeStretch:
“We love that our fellow Methodists in Roswell helped found HomeStretch. We were impressed with how the program helps families using accountability along with resources. We look forward to developing supportive relationships within the program.”
– Samantha Faklaris, Director of Mission, DUMC
“We wanted to move beyond fundraising events and elected to partner with local charities. HomeStretch was selected unanimously for our annual support and we are excited to be part of the organization.” – Kay Leaumont, President, Charity Guild of St. Ives & Greater Johns Creek
“As a local company, we want to bring visibility to the challenges of low-income families and to support parents who are working full-time to make a difference for their children. Employee response has been fantastic! We rallied and gathered all the furniture needed for our sponsored apartment. We look forward to serving and donating to this partnership.”- Erin Mitchell Richeson, Market Source Diversity and Inclusion Manager
