Ann Willis honored
with the
“Amor en Acción” Award
Actions of the heart make possible
transforming love between people. Yakima Interfaith Coalition La Casa
Hogar honors individuals who have been inspired by the people we serve.
Through their inspiration, they become one with us and inspire others.
“Ann along with her husband Bruce
active members at Central Lutheran Church, regularly lead Habitat for
Humanity delegations to El Salvador inviting numerous individuals from
Yakima to accompany them. They are incredible people who care deeply
about our community and express it through Amor en Acción, setting a
beautiful example for each of us,” Carole Folsom-Hill, Executive
Director said.
The board of directors each year
recognizes individuals who live out Amor en Acción, in our community,
and through that Love in Action have touched the lives of all who are
the community at La Casa Hogar.

Yakima Receives
National
Coverage
“107 House” Continues To Make A Difference
A recent article featured in a American
Magazine had this to say about the economy that effects the whole
nation: “...In Yakima, Wash, it is not uncommon to hear the words: We’ve
never had to ask for help like this before...Keeping a roof over their
heads appears to be the biggest issue for American families as 75%
of agencies report an increase for requests for rent.”
The new program added to “107" House,
Homeless Prevention and Rapid Re-housing Program, has dispersed over
17,500 thousand dollars this month. The staff has been working hard
to insure that families will not lose their homes. An application to
determine eligiability is required.
Please call (509) 249-6232 for more info!
