Updates & Notices of former guests!  
 
We've had a great week at I-HELP!
  • This week started with Keith one of our clients moving into an apartment using his Section 8 voucher - he only stayed with us for 5 weeks.
  • On Thursday 08/13/09, Bella and Jason informed us that they got their apartment and key.  They were thankful for all of out work and; they specifically thanked Lindsay at TCAA for her help with connecting them with the right resources to get the apartment.
Thank you for all that you do!! 
Drives Needed: new underwear, socks, sun screen, razors, feminine hygiene products and hats 
 
Thank you to IKEA for donating coffee to TCAA's food pantry - we have been sharing with our host congregations!
