Our 2007 Kickball Tournament was a great success
15 teams from across northern Virginia came together on a very warm August 4th to participate in the second annual AACH Safe at Home kickball tournament. A great time was had by all.
A planning committee is already hard and work making plans for the 2008 Tournament. We hope you’ll join us for this unique opportunity to have a great time for a great cause!
Local Coalition Provides Homeless with Beds, Life Skills, Hope
The Catholic Herald recently highlighted AACH. Here’s an excerpt:
It was the mid-1990s and Gerald Turner couldn’t kick his heroin addiction. A slave to the drug for a quarter-century, Turner led himself, his wife and their three children to the brink of home eviction.
Now, a decade later, Turner sits at a desk in a basement office on a side street in Clarendon, literally the face of the organization that gave him a second chance at life and that took him from no home to new home.
Volunteers Needed
Right now we are looking for volunteers to work with families in our transitional program, Adopt-A-Family. We are also looking for volunteers to lead workshops for our adult clients and weekend volunteers to accompany kids on field trips.
Our family was homeless due to my husband losing his job; we couldn’t make ends meet. The Sullivan House kept a roof over our heads, along with loving caseworkers who didn’t belittle us.
