Nearly 60% of the donations to Harbor House come from individuals and churches. Your support allows us to provide quality programs to people in our community. Thank you for support and please continue to give generously.
Harbor House serves families in our community by offering three-day supplies of balanced, nutritional food. Families receive a clothing outfit for each member of the family on an as-needed basis — sometimes for special needs, such as a job interview. The Harbor House Thrift Store also offers very affordable quality clothing for sale.
Families call or come to our office to make appointments for food and/or clothing, with a limit of three appointments a year for individual families. At the appointment, we discuss the family’s needs and refer people to a variety of other services in the area (including those at Harbor House). Clients can make an appointment with a chaplain on staff with Harbor House if they need to talk, pray, or otherwise need a shoulder to lean on.
Dedicated volunteers bag and sort groceries and interact with our clients.
Emergency Food services provided a three-day supply of nutritionally balanced groceries for 905 families, 1071 adults and 791 children in 2006.
