Introducing Wendy Fellinger, LHM Foundation’s new Volunteer Coordinator!

Wendy, who joined the LHM Foundation team in an administrative role last fall, is enthusiastically expanding her impact on our work by serving as the coordinator of – and chief cheerleader for – one of the Foundation’s most valued resources...its volunteers! Building on her more than three decades of experience as an educator in urban school districts and as volunteer coordinator for a local nonprofit focused on food insecurity, Wendy is enthusiastic about this new opportunity to connect people and purpose!

We are excited to see Wendy’s contributions to LHM Foundation grow as she supports our Beam Team volunteers at our Horizons transitional housing program and throughout the community.

April is National Fair Housing Month! 🏛️📜

President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Fair Housing Act into law in April 1968, shortly after the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. The Act prohibits discrimination based on race, color, national origin, s*x, religion, or other protected characteristics in the renting, selling, financing, or insuring of a home.

The Fair Housing Act was an important step toward ensuring that everyone has access to safe, stable housing. Through the Horizons transitional housing program, LHM Foundation is also working to ensure those in our community have a place to call home – visit https://lhm-foundation.org/horizons to learn more.

🌟 Volunteer Spotlight: Meet Mindy McDonald! 🌟

Mindy is always on the move, whether she’s exercising, traveling, or keeping up with her three busy grandchildren and pets. On growing up with an architect father whose firm operated out of their home, Mindy says, “I learned early on to love new projects and be adaptable to the challenges and successes that are part of change and building something new.”

That passion shines through in Mindy’s work with LHM Foundation, where she volunteers regularly Horizons transitional housing program’s Resource Desk. “For me it is so fulfilling to be part of the start of LHM Foundation and to see it and the courageous participants we serve meet and exceed their own personal goals. I am grateful to be part of that journey!”

Thank you, Mindy, for your energy, adaptability, and heart for building something bigger than yourself! 💚

Thank you to our partners at M&T Bank for supporting financial literacy in the Horizons program!

Gavin Leader, Branch Manager at M&T Bank’s Linglestown location, recently discussed the importance of budgeting with participants in LHM Foundation’s Horizons transitional housing program. 📊

Gavin’s practical approach to this important topic generated a lively discussion, with Gavin and attendees sharing budgeting tips. We learned a lot in this first session and are looking forward to more!

In our Horizons transitional housing program, a stable home begins with simple things: the lights turn on, food is in the kitchen, and people are there when you need support.

Our Monthly Lightkeepers are donors who have set up recurring gifts to LHM Foundation that help support daily expenses like utility costs, food for participants, and staffing. 💡🚰 🍽️ 🤗

Become a Monthly Lightkeeper today! Set up your recurring gift at www.lhm-foundation/donate.

Be the light. Be the hello. Be the reason someone feels at home. We’re always looking for volunteers to fill Resource Desk and meal service shifts for our Horizons transitional housing program. If you’ve been thinking about volunteering, this is your sign!

Being unhoused can cause health challenges, but the reverse is also true. Homelessness can be triggered by an illness or injury that makes it impossible to work. What started as a health issue can rapidly escalate into a housing crisis, forcing impossible choices between basic needs like food, medical care, and shelter. At LHM Foundation, we’re trying to help break that cycle.

That’s where our program partners come in, including “Nurse Angie”! Angela Shuman, a Community Health Nurse with Penn State Health, visits our transitional housing facility for several hours twice each month. Whether Horizons program participants need help filling a prescription, getting seen for a sore throat or accessing education about a chronic health condition, Nurse Angie is a trusted resource!

It’s National Volunteer Month, and our Beam Team volunteers are the light in every moment that matters. 💛✨

They’re the warm hello at reception and while serving meals at our Horizons transitional housing program. They’re out in the community preparing food bank orders and building care kits. They’re showing up for others with love, compassion, and grace.

We are deeply grateful for our volunteers, this month and all year long! 💛

✨ Send us a message or sign up to volunteer with the Beam Teams today at https://lhm-foundation.org/volunteer/.

Donors bring our mission to life!

Each name on the new donor recognition wall in LHM Foundation’s lobby represents an investment in the individuals and families working toward brighter futures in our Horizons transitional housing program. The display is a visible reminder of the community members, businesses, and organizations who believe in the potential of each program participant. 🫶

Although the donor recognition wall – which was created by our friends at Keystone Displays - honors those who have made gifts of $10,000 or more, we are deeply grateful to each and every one of our generous donors whose support allows LHM Foundation to serve the most vulnerable in our communities. Thank you!

Building community...through cake!

Although we cheer “wins” big and small every day in the Horizons transitional housing program, we dedicate one evening meal each month to honoring participants’ birthdays and other good news. Whether it’s another trip around the sun, a new job, or a heartfelt visit with a distant family member, participants are encouraged to celebrate bright moments in our Horizons community.🥳🍰

If you’re celebrating some good news, big or small, share it with us in the comments!
