“Our kids are writing letters to some of the residents, and hopefully will become good old-fashioned pen pals. We’re bringing food directly to the Nathalie Salmon House and are donating Chromebooks to the residents. We intend to continue to contribute to this community which helps seniors thrive.”

Volunteer Spotlight

Ignatian Volunteer Corps

For a number of years H.O.M.E. has worked in partnership with the Ignatian Volunteer Corps (IVC). They are a national non-profit service organization that provides men and women, most aged 50 or better, with opportunities to serve others—to address social injustice—and to transform lives. IVC was founded in 1995 when two Jesuit priests, Jim Conroy, SJ, and Charlie Costello, SJ, gathered a small group of retired men and women in DC, Baltimore and Philadelphia to explore ways to minister to those who were materially poor while also gaining spiritual growth through service. Now more than 500 volunteers serve in 17 regions across the US.

“It can be a hard job but at the end of each day it is always rewarding. You help older people who are usually living alone acquire needed light and warmth especially with winter approaching” - Ken Campagna, IVC

We are always looking for passionate individuals to join our board
