Isabel's House

An amazing September Junior Board meeting in the books. We discussed the importance of teamwork and collaboration, set fundraising goals, signed up for volunteer opportunities, and brainstormed ways to fulfill Junior Board commitments. Their ideas are fantastic! We are looking forward to guiding and watching these young philanthropists grow and engage in the community. So many exciting things are happening at Isabel’s House! 🦋

We attended SBJ's Nonprofit Excellence Awards last night. Being supported and considered along with so many other fantastic nonprofits was a humbling experience. We were thrilled to encourage and support everyone in their success and are thankful to be a part of such an amazingly collaborative and philanthropic region. So many exciting things are happening at Isabel's House!

It’s the first day of school! We wanted to share just a few photos with you all — because of YOU we were able to provide back to school supplies, backpacks, new shoes, and clothes to all of the kiddos in the House for the past month PLUS to every single family who came to us for back-to-school support! The joy and pride of sporting fun backpacks, new shoes, and clean clothes is something every single for child should experience. The outpouring of generosity and care given to our kiddos in preparation for school has been amazing. It truly takes a village and the Isabel’s House village is phenomenal! Thank you! 🍎✏️

Isabel’s House was excited to be a part of the Service Fair on the Square today! The Springfield History Museum did an amazing job putting this on. Loved seeing so many amazing nonprofits gathered together to engage, educate, and recruit volunteers.

We had a lovely time at the CoxHealth Kids Safety Fair this past Saturday, and wanted to share a cool story from a family. The hands in this photo are of a mother and daughter that stopped by to say hello. Mom told us when her daughter was 1 years old she stayed at Isabel's House! We were encouraged to learn that they have been doing well since they needed our services years ago. It means that we're doing our job well to strengthen families & prevent child abuse & neglect! We reconnected with other families who have used our services before too, all doing well now. Thank you to everyone who stopped by to say "hi" and learn more about what we do for families in crisis in our community!

As you can see, it was a full house! Margaret was invited to speak on what we do for our community in light of Child Abuse & Neglect Prevention month, and it was hugely impactful.

We had a great time at our Open House this morning, and we took a picture with the GOBLUE pinwheels to celebrate! Thank you again to everyone who came out & joined us.
