This spring, the Family Nurturing Center will open Evelyn’s House for Young Mothers and Babies, within the former convent at Our Lady of Lourdes Church in Utica. Evelyn’s House will be a safe and nurturing home for girls who are under age 22, who are pregnant or already have babies, and who have no suitable place to live. There is no other supervised, protected residence for very young moms and their children in Oneida County or surrounding areas. Transitional housing for these families is a very important service that our area has badly needed for some time.
The success of Evelyn’s House will depend greatly on the continued involvement of interested and invested community partners. We are grateful for the many people who donated their time and gave gifts during the first big phase of building renovations.
Adding to the work of our professional contractors, the volunteers at Evelyn’s House have made major headway in preparing the living space and are ready to finish the job and furnish the rooms. They have declared March as “Extreme Makeover Month” for Evelyn’s House. This is what they need:
Equipment: Appliances: Lighting: Furniture: |
Carpeting: Building Materials: Other Renovation Items: Volunteer Labor: |
The Family Nurturing Center of Central New York is a not-for-profit agency with 501(c)3 status and donations to Evelyn’s House are tax deductible. We will be happy to talk by phone or visit your business location to tell you more about Evelyn’s House and all the work that is being done in order to open the doors in April.
Please call Donna Elefante or Colleen Cavallo at 738-9773. Thank you for caring.
