Clausen House

06/27/2022

Clausen House would like to recognize an outstanding citizen of our community. Sandy Sher has been donating groceries to Clausen House for 2 years. Sandy began donating groceries when her lifelong friend & client of Clausen House lived at one of our residential homes. She would buy dry goods and donate them to the residential home her friend stayed in. And even after the passing of her long term friend, she continues to graciously donate dry goods to the houses in honor of her friend that spent so many years with us. We’d like to thank Sandy for her commitment to helping our friends at Clausen House and look forward to her future visits.
