“Our House of the Way is an amazing organization that helps families in need in the Benton Harbor area. We receive clothes and shoes donations from the community, we sort the donations, and curate clothes and shoes for resale purposes. We continue to donate 80% of the donations to the community. We worked hard and have created a successful business that brings in financial support for the organization’s various programs. We use 100% of the revenue to help the community. Working on this project has brought so much joy and gratitude to my life. I have met many Benton Harbor families through this project, learning their life stories and hearing how the organization helps their families gives me motivation to continue to work with Our House. Volunteering has helped me understand there is so much need in our community, we can not sit back and watch. We must take action and help those in need. Our House has changed my life, seeing the happiness and relief in the faces we have helped is priceless. I pray we continue to get help from the community and businesses in order to continue to help those in need.”
