to Benefit Home of the Sparrow?
Home of the Sparrow welcomes the community’s initiatives to help further the awareness of homelessness among women and their children. By planning a fundraiser or donation drive, the community organizer takes on the fun of creating and running a successful event on their own. Home of the Sparrow appreciates the efforts of others to help save on staffing resources to secure important funds for the agency. Thank you!
