We're so excited about all the recent support and volunteer contributions that have come along side us to help clean & beautify the Partners for Families building. On March 2008, John Jayne and friends began with our main office. Talk about fine craftsmanship, we have been so honored to have John Jayne spend endless hours making improvements to this room with showroom level quality. Our prayer is that the churches and community would continue to partner with us toward the common mission of serving Norristown families so that individuals will be empowered with choices to live out God’s plan for their lives in good health, education, success, and wholeness. All the time and sweat equity put into this endeavor demonstrates each volunteers fingerprint as a token of support and commitment with the anticipation to see hearts & lives transformed... "one person at a time!"Final touches are almost finished in our office, once complete we'll finally be able to unpack our boxes and move in. (We're sorry if you've been trying to contact us at 610 279-5440 office number, we've been temporarily disconnected and are back online!).
So much has been accomplished by volunteers thus far. In the last 4 months we've cleared out unused furniture, unused stored items, organized rooms, drywalling, spackling and painting. Again, a special thanks to John Jayne for his craftsmanship and his labor of love donating months of his time & money to provide literally a "new office" for us!. Thanks also goes out to Steve Rush, Fairview Village Church Youth group, the L.A.B. group, Cabrini College Faculty, Mascaro's & Sons Inc., Dave & Kathie Peters & Friends, and Rick Sterley, owner of Bridgeport Paint for donating all the paint and supplies.

HOME DEPOT Adopting Partners for Families Building...
We are so excited that Home Depot, located in King of Prussia will be adopting the Partners for Families building as their community service site. Thanks to Store Manager, Larry Mulligan who's taken personal ownership in this project.
"It's nice that Home Depot has helped improve playgrounds in the suburbs, but after seeing this site here in Norristown, this is the kind of organization we'd like to help and would feel we're making a difference in the community" says Larry Mulligan, Home Depot ManagerThe objective for phase one with the rennovation project is to give a makeover to our downstairs kitchen & meeting room, gymnasium recreation room and hallway entrance. These rooms are the highest priority right now. Once they're upgraded we can start with these meeting spaces for our planned programs we have for the 2008-09 school calendar year.
There is still much work to be done! We are still seeking volunteers/community groups to "adopt-a-room" as we make collaborative steps to ultimately upgrade the entire building. The building is one of our greatest asset, so we want to make sure that we prepare each room with functionality and comfort to serve the needs of our children, youth and families.
