A message from our Founder & Executive Director
A stronger future starts with steady ground.
As we begin the third quarter, I find myself reflecting on how much can happen in just six months. Every family served, meal shared, volunteer who showed up, donor who gave, and partner who stood beside us has moved our mission forward.
The work of Palmer House is never only about meeting an immediate need. It is about restoring hope, creating stability, and opening opportunities that help individuals and families build a stronger future.

This quarter marks one of our busiest seasons. As children prepare to return to the classroom, we are working alongside our community to help ensure students have the supplies and clothing they need to begin the school year with confidence. A backpack filled with school supplies represents much more than notebooks and pencils. It provides encouragement, dignity, and a strong start.
We also continue to place a strong emphasis on mental health and wellness. Through Wellness Works and trusted community resources, we help individuals and families identify support for emotional well-being, self-care, and overall health.
Collaboration remains at the heart of everything we do. We are strengthening relationships with nonprofit organizations, businesses, faith communities, schools, and civic leaders because lasting change happens when we work together.
None of this would be possible without you. Every donation, volunteer hour, partnership, referral, and word of encouragement helps families move from crisis to stability. Thank you for believing in our mission and walking alongside us.
