Volunteer Spotlight: Rock Spring Congregational United Church of Christ
Last month, members of Rock Spring Congregational United Church of Christ supported APAH residents as part of their Fifth Sunday Service program. These volunteers prepared more than 200 goodie bags, which were passed out to children at APAH's Spring Egg Hunts, and assembled over 30 welcome baskets of cleaning and laundry supplies for new APAH residents to receive as they move into their homes. Members also engaged in advocacy service by writing letters to County leadership to encourage supporting budget priorities that keep housing affordable.
Thank you to Rock Spring and everyone who helped with these projects!

Young Residents Celebrate Spring
Young residents welcomed the warm weather with Spring Egg Hunts at five APAH properties during spring break. The events each included an outdoor egg hunt and goodie bags filled with prizes and snacks and celebrations in the community room.
A special thanks goes to Capital One for generously donating plastic eggs filled with treats, and to volunteers from Rock Spring Church for assembling goodie bags for all participants!
