Read About Your Impact at Laurel House Last Year!

Take a look at our 24-25 Annual Impact Report!

During FY 24-25, thanks to your support, Laurel House provided 7,474 bed nights of safe shelter to 209 adults and children, provided crisis intervention to 754 victims referred to our Domestic Abuse Response Team, supported 14 families in our transitional housing and rapid rehousing programs, and continued to rebuild lives and restore hope.

Laurel House is MOVING!

Our landlord has generously offered to assist Laurel House in relocating to a new building within our current plaza. This new space will allow Laurel House to provide a designated space for walk-in clients, a bigger pantry, and more.

We're not going far! Our new address is 190 W. Germantown Pike, Second Floor, in East Norriton. We expect to be fully moved in by the end of December; donations will still be accepted at our current location at 180 until the end of the year!

Thank you so much for your support. We can't wait to see what exciting changes our new home will bring in 2026!

 We Need Your Help Preparing for the Holidays!

Our primary focus this year is acquiring gift cards for our families. Gift cards give parents in our shelter, counseling programs, rapid rehousing, and transitional housing programs the ability to buy gifts for their children and the autonomy to choose how to best meet their needs. 

Our goal is to provide $150 in gift cards to each adult and $100 in gift cards per child in each family. If you have questions or are interested in participating, please contact Andrea Devenney at  adevenney@laurel-house.org.

In addition, we are also in search of holiday dinner fixings and other winter needs. Please check out our Holiday Wish List below to see what our most current needs are. If you have any additional questions or would like more information, please contact Emily O’Connell at 610-277-1860 x117 or email at eoconnell@laurel-house.org.

None of this would be possible without the help of volunteers!

From sorting and delivering generous community donations to greeting donors and coordinating pickups, it takes a team to make it all happen. We’re looking for dedicated volunteers to help ensure every gift, toy, and warm winter item reaches those who need it most. Click the Holiday Volunteering button below to view current opportunities!

Thank you for your support!
