15th Annual Golf Outing Drives Home Support for Families

Tuesday, September 27, 2011 // 0 Comments // News

On Tuesday, September 13, local golfers showed their support of Fellowship Housing by participating in the Annual Golf Outing. With over 75 golfers in attendance, $80,000 was raised to help homeless and at-risk single mothers and their children.

A beautiful day on the Stonewall Orchard Golf Course, golfers enjoyed participating in competitive games, such as “Beat the Pro” and trying for a Hole-in-One to win a Harley-Davidson Motorcycle. After the golf games concluded, guests heard from a current mom in the Fellowship Housing program. Sharing that her home was in foreclosure after her relationship of 20 years ended, she and her teenage daughter “didn’t know where to turn”. As this mom prepares for graduation, she has become debt free and is pursuing a home through Habitat for Humanity. The event was sponsored by many local businesses including the Rolfs Family, Abbott Labs, Orsini Healthcare, and the Fitzgerald Family. A complete list of our generous sponsors is listed here.

Community Helps Give FH Families Hope for the Future

Monday, May 9, 2011 // 0 Comments // News

Building a hope-filled life can be based on the American Dream. On a rainy Saturday in April, community members came together to build hope for single mother families. Fellowship Housing, a local non-profit organization dedicated to serving homeless and at-risk single mother families, partnered with a group from Willow Creek Community Church to improve housing for these families; a “Celebration of Hope”.

Volunteers from the Northwest Suburbs served through construction projects, creating homes and rehabbing apartment and office space for Fellowship Housing. One of the projects assisted a current Fellowship Housing family who is receiving a home through Habitat for Humanity. “Fellowship Housing and Habitat for Humanity make perfect sense together. Fellowship Housing takes the families from crisis situations and gives them housing and financial literacy training. During the time in the program these women can rebuild their credit, pay off their debt, and build a savings account. This makes them great candidates for Habitat, which provides permanent, sustainable housing options for the families,” says Brooke Bartlow, Executive Director for Fellowship Housing. To date, ten Fellowship Housing families have been awarded Habitat for Humanity homes, with two families being awarded in the last few weeks. “When families enter our program, they feel as if there are no more options and homelessness is waiting for them. When they graduate our program, they are confident in their future because they have hope.”
