Serving Many Communities

Family Homestead: Lift-a-Hammer Project – Make a house a home for a homeless family by painting and cleaning an apartment for a new client family about to enter our emergency or transitional housing program.

Family Homestead Volunteers

share a story

tell me your name

a family moved on

with notebooks left behind

paint a room

clean a stove

strangers, colleagues, friends

NAIS volunteers working for the greater good

we told our stories

laughter and warmth filled the rooms

government cheese

how poor were you

privilege and out houses

moving back to Haiti for a better life

stories of strangers

working together for the homeless families we will never meet

but perhaps we cleaned our home and shared our stories


Ready, Set...
