We are always looking to offer new and different learning experiences for our guests so we were pleased when Dashawn Vassell from Operation HOPE, Inc. came to us wanting to offer a financial literacy class on building strong credit.

Congratulations to Delaney on earning the rank of Eagle Scout last night! We were so happy to be invited to the ceremony celebrating this incredible achievement and are ever grateful to her for transforming our outside entrance area to a more welcoming space for our guests last summer. We wholeheartedly concurred with her choice to recognize Mike Welsh as her mentor for going above and beyond to help make the project happen! We wish Delaney well in her final weeks of high school and know she will continue to make her mark on the world in college, in her future nursing career, and beyond!

For the second year in a row, some of the amazing University of Notre Dame alumni from ndclub_hartford came out to support us for the ND Global Day of Service. They helped us with food prep, cleaning, serving lunch, and a group of them even joined us at the Walk Against Hunger! An outpouring of generosity and kindness that brought the true spirit of the day to all in the HOB community. Thank you for your service and we hope to see you back in 2027 (if not sooner)!
