Dear Tracy,

Our 2024 Annual Report is ready! A digital version is available for you now and the printed copy is on its way to your mailbox in the coming weeks.

This report has something for everyone– family stories, data, volunteer impact, and long-term stability. Here are some highlights you can look forward to:

Hear directly from families about their commitment and growth

There are two inspiring stories from current and alumni families. These parents show strong dedication and determination for their children and themselves.

Read about our commitment to long-term evaluation

Dive into data from our partnership with the UNM Evaluation Lab to learn about the research in this two-year mixed methods study about our program's efficacy and replicability.

Learn more about how Saranam lives its mission

Through housing, education, and supportive community this program prepares and encourages families to thrive. Additionally, our alumni program is there to reinforce concepts and to help build their assets.

We hope you enjoy reading how we helped families end homelessness in 2024. Your support made these incredible accomplishments possible.

This is a great resource to share with others to tell them who Saranam is and the transformation families make while they are here. Share the link or request a copy of the annual report!

Snapshot of Pictures of Hope

Saranam children took part in the Pictures of Hope program, founded by Linda Solomon, to explore their hopes and dreams through the camera lens. This program helps youth harness their power of hope and encourage the children’s confidence and self-worth.

Summer volunteer groups! 👏👏👏

The sun is out and so are the volunteer groups!

We've had groups from Kansas, Texas, Colorado and here in Albuquerque.

The teenagers brought their enthusiasm and great energy to these projects! They moved furniture, sorted household items, put beds together, landscaped, painted walls and fences, and laid rocks for a couple jobs. Did we mention a group painted a 200' wall!?

These groups are helping us check off the summer projects which help families live in a lovely and welcoming community.

Friendly Reminder for Volunteers

We are excited about our new volunteer management system that allows us to digitize all our volunteer applications and schedules!

We need all volunteers to create an up-to-date volunteer profile. Sunny Holmes, our Community Engagement Coordinator, sent an email with instructions last month. If you didn't get it, here is a link to the instructions.

If you are a NEW volunteer, below is a link to the registration form.
