Facility Clean-up Event
Our Fontana House 
Sunday, June 1, 2008
Big helping small......
A team of volunteers from“Hands On Inland Empire Team Connect Program”
(a branch of the United Way) came together over a really challenging project.
Organized by Gloria Bracy and Lead by Jana Kiser volunteers loaded the truck,
and drove over to “A Place Along the Way” to beautify a section of their backyard.
A Place Along the Way is a 100% donation-run shelter for teens in Fontana, we serve
teens not only as a place to sleep, but we also hold peer-counseling,
and allowed teens to do their laundry, get meals, or use the computer for job searches
and/or research.
“HOIE”
had decided to beautify the gated-in section of the backyard, figuring that since
the shelter housed a few young children as well, then they would best utilize that section
to keep the young children from falling into the pool.
Home Depot really pulled through with an amazing $500 worth of product donation.
Home Depot gave them the opportunity to actually make it beautiful. Thank you Home Depot.
After such a task the shaded picnic table was a sight for sore eyes, and it definitely
looked like a great place to relax and have a good laugh with friends!
A special thanks to the volunteers !
A Place Along the Way is always in need of your help.
