The siding is up on our new wing and construction is moving fast! It's looking beautiful around here!

Please take a moment to read this recent Letter to the Editor, which seeks coordinated and compassionate solutions to homelessness. This letter was signed by many leaders of homeless services in the region, including HFF's Executive Director, Beth Vann-Turnbull.

Here's a fun photo of HFF Case Managers Ashley and Dwronyel accidentally twinning this week. These two are THE BEST, and we appreciate all that they do!

If you need a reason to smile today, here she is! Baby N is staying with us in shelter for a little while, and this sweet girl is just this happy ALL THE TIME! You can't help but smile when she's around. Thanks for making the world a little brighter, sweet Baby N!

Huge and special thanks to our partners at Henrico County Public Schools' McKinney-Vento program for the amazing gifts they brought to our shelter! Stay tuned for the "after" pictures of our new Little Free Library for kids!

September is National Preparedness Month, and our partners at the United Way of Greater Richmond and Petersburg made 50 Family Emergency Preparedness Kits for the families at HFF in recognition. Thank you, United Way of Greater Richmond & Petersburg, for creating positive change in our community. We are, as always, grateful for your partnership!

The wonderful people at  Sisters Connecting Hearts brought fun and colorful sling bags filled with toiletries for the kids in shelter this month, and the kids love them! Thank you, Sisters! We are grateful for all you do!

The long-awaited "after" shot is here! Sending huge thanks to Henrico County Public Schools' McKinney-Vento Office for the BEAUTIFUL Little Free Library they donated to us, and to our very special volunteer, Wanda Heath, for putting it together. Wanda, a retired school librarian, is the perfect person for this ongoing project! If you would like to donate new children's books to keep our Little Free Library stocked, please email Julie today. We are incredibly grateful for our village, which makes all things possible. Thank you!

Our friends at Cedar Street Baptist Church came by to deliver a generous donation and tour our shelter this month. They have brought dinners for the families here in shelter for years, but had to take a break due to COVID. They are ready to come back now, and we can't wait to have them! Thank you, Cedar Street Baptist! We appreciate you!

Have we mentioned that we love our community partners? We do! Huge and special thanks to Dominion Energy for visiting our shelter in September! They learned about HFF, donated needed items to our shelter, and promised to be back. Thanks, Dominion Energy. You're the best!

Thank you shout-out to our sweet friend, Amelia! As part of a Girl Scout project, Amelia created adult activity kits for the families here in shelter. She brought adult coloring books, knitting supplies, pillow-making kits, and much more! These kits will be loved by the adults here in shelter, and we are all grateful for Amelia's support!
