Giving Tuesday Open House


Sparrow House Outreach is hosting an Open House for Giving Tuesday this year! Come check out our new center, located at 6 Hilltop Rd., Unit 1 in Mendham, NJ! We are weeks away from launching our new commercial kitchen and we need your help getting to the end. Once completed, we will be able to feed many more families and individuals in need!


Stop by and grab a bite to eat, pick up a Sparrow House t-shirt or sweatshirt, hear some live music, and partake in a fun evening with friends and supporters of those experiencing homelessness! We can't wait to see you!

Kevin Moves Home


After a long road of addiction, homelessness, and living in shelters, Kevin* is now beginning a new chapter and journey in his life. He is in recovery, has been sober for over a year, and he is excited about having his own home and a new chance on life.


Kevin has a heart for helping others going through similar struggles and is in school to become a Peer Recovery Support Specialist. His genuinely warm and kind demeanor will bring a lot of comfort to those who need it.


Congratulations Kevin! Thank you to all who contributed furniture and household items to help get Kevin settled!

COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT

Gladstone Tavern


Tom Carlin, owner and chef of Gladstone Tavern, has been collecting pennies since he was a young boy in the 1970s. His mother gave him a dime every day for milk, which cost six cents. Tom saved the extra four pennies every day, and he continued to save pennies throughout his life. Tom always knew he would donate the money some day to a worthy cause and recently he chose Sparrow House Outreach. We couldn't be more honored to receive this especially heartwarming gift!


Tom also shares his love and talent for cooking with the folks we serve in Newark, providing delicious meals every month. Thank you, Tom, for having a big heart for those struggling with homelessness and poverty!

COMMUNITY SUPPORT

St. Vincent De Paul Society


Thank you to the St. Vincent De Paul Society of the Corpus Christi Parish, Chatham for providing many pairs of shoes for our friends in Newark! Shoes are the most requested item from those we serve, and having a new pair brings physical comfort as well as the comfort of being cared for.
