This November, the Shalom House is announcing our first annual Wreaths For A Reason event.
All of us are fortunate we live in a house or apartment with a door where we hang wreaths to mark the holidays and passing seasons. But those who are homeless do not have a house or a door or a wreath. For many women and their children in Harrisburg, Shalom House is the place they call home and where they begin the hard work to resolve the causes of their homelessness.
“Wreaths for a Reason” is a fundraiser/community awareness event offering an opportunity to groups and individuals to create a holiday wreath, and at the same time, help end homelessness.
Shalom House will supply a 12” wire wreath form, and you supply the creativity and your own materials. Participants are invited to exercise their imaginations and have fun!
Finished wreaths are donated to Shalom House and picked up in mid-November by a Shalom House volunteer for display at Strawberry Square for a silent auction. All proceeds will benefit Shalom House.
If your school, business, religious organization, senior citizen center, scout troop, individuals – all are welcome – would like to help Shalom House by creating your own “Wreath for a Reason”, contact Shalom House volunteer Janet McNally by phone at (717) 805-6935 or by email at [email protected].
