(from the Genesis House 2019/20 Newsletter)

The Genesis House Staff and Board of Directors are extremely grateful for the support and caring received during this difficult time with the isolation due to the Covid-19 pandemic. We have remained open but have requested all applicants for shelter have a negative Covid-19 test completed before moving in. Presently, we are sheltering 3 pregnant women, 6 mothers with 6 children, 4 senior women, and one senior, married couple; in addition, we are helping 3 senior men with Housing Case Management as they seek permanent, safe housing. These men are sheltered in other safe places.

Our main fundraisers have been cancelled and we have had some creative fun non-contact events.  Some of our supporters have had some small fundraisers in their places of business, and we have received some donations and a Grant that helped us a lot.

Please continue your support and know that your donations are helping many homeless individuals.  Continue to watch our website, Facebook, and Instagram pages, too, for upcoming virtual fundraisers, and the hopeful return of in-person events in 2021. Please, also, pray for us as we continue to shelter and help the many homeless people who contact us for help and support.

“I was hungry and you gave me food to eat. I was naked and you clothed me.
I was homeless and you took me in.” —Matthew 25:35

“Hungry not only for bread—but hungry for love. Naked not only for
want of a home of bricks—but homeless because of rejection.” —Mother Teresa 

Thank you for helping us with financial support!
