Christ House Annual Report, 5k recap, job opportunity, and more

August Updates

Christ House has had an active August!

At Christ House, we rely on staff and volunteers across departments to keep our program running smoothly. This past month, we'd like to highlight a few members of the Christ House family.

We were sad to say goodbye to our two summer interns earlier this month who helped us with communications, patient activities, food prep, and more. Thank you, Estela and Santiago, for your hard work and for supporting our patients!

We also recently celebrated Abraham Pedemonte's 15 years of dedicated work here as Christ House's Maintenance Coordinator and wished him well in his retirement.

While we were sad to bid farewell to our interns and Abraham, we are thrilled to welcome our newest member to the Christ House family: Jiin Woo. Working as the Clinical Unit Assistant, Jiin will work in the nurses station scheduling patient appointments, clerking orders, and more. We're excited to have her on board!

At Christ House, we are deeply appreciative of the unique gifts each of our staff, volunteers, and Kairos Members bring to our work. Together, we are able to provide comprehensive and compassionate care for people experiencing homelessness.

Another year of Compassion in Action!

Raising funds together for our mission

Thanks to you all, we were able to raise over $10,000 at this year's Compassion in Action virtual 5k!

We also hosted an in-person celebration this year which included a silent auction, raffle, refreshments, and more. It was great getting to reconnect with the community through this fun event, and we hope all who participated enjoyed themselves!
