We bid a fond farewell to Kathy as she moves to Iowa and thank her for all of her work to advocate for and support Homes for the Brave!

Thanks to several supporters, our residents are learning how to garden and look forward to the fresh produce they'll soon be enjoying! Thank you, AlixPartners, for the funding and hands-on work to get the garden planted. Thanks to SASO Fairfield who will tend the garden throughout the season, weeding, harvesting and providing recipes to our residents. Thank you, Home Depot, for your constant support and helping us in selecting vibrant plants and ensuring we had all we need to spruce up the grounds!
