    Today is our volunteer spotlight, and we're so exc Today is our volunteer spotlight, and we're so excited to celebrate Harry Harpham! He wrote a note for you all to share about who he is and what he does here:

You can usually find me in the Poudre Canyon, climbing rocks or walking around in the woods with my dogs. I make a living as a software engineer, working on anti-censorship tools.

I stumbled across The Matthews House when I saw a post on a climbing forum, asking for gear donations. I reached out about volunteering and learned more about the organization as I went. I have been heartened to find an organization so dedicated to serving those who have, in many ways, been let down by society.

These kids experience inordinate hardship, but at The Matthews House, you witness moments in which they get to just be kids. Each of those is pretty cool. A kid flashing a little smile at the ground, a group of kids joking around with each other, a kid beaming after unexpected accomplishment - it's always special. It's also just fun hanging out.  The kids can be goofy and hilarious, and I enjoy the community of youth, staff, and volunteers."

Thank you so much for bringing your love and passion into The Matthews House! The kids love you, and we do too!

    Claire* has been though a lot in the last year. Wh Claire* has been though a lot in the last year. When Claire first came into the Family to Family program, she did not need much support. However, things fell apart for her in the fall. Claire was abruptly moved from her home due to an intense domestic violence situation. She had to suddenly look for a place that would fit her and her children, and it was getting down to the wire. However, with the help of various community resources, Claire and her family were able to find a home and move in in-time for the holidays!
    Say congrats to Jennifer Griffiths for her 1 year Say congrats to Jennifer Griffiths for her 1 year anniversary at The Matthews House!

Jennifer is a Family to Family Facilitator here, and we love having her on our team! She has been married to her favorite person for 23 years, and has two sons that are her greatest treasures. Jennifer works with families to help them set goals and work towards self sufficiency by connecting them to resources and collaborating with other agencies to help break cycles and barriers in their family. She encourages and empowers her families one step at a time to work towards their victories.

The Matthews Houses’s mission and future vision drew Jennifer in, and it’s what keeps her passionate about the work we do. She shared that she loves how supportive and positive everyone is in The Matthews House, cheering each person on in whatever challenges they’re facing.

Jennifer’s favorite memory is when a group of her team-members went on a resource tour in the community. They were all fairly new to their positions, and they had such a fun day getting to know each other. They spent the day visiting other providers, meeting other professionals in the community, and building relationships with those we collaborate with for our families’ success.

Ultimately, Jennifer has a heart to serve her families. There is nothing more powerful than working with someone and getting to experience their change and growth. They give her a sense of purpose.

Jen, you’re a rockstar! Happy anniversary, and thank you for all that you do!
