Last meeting, we heard a presentation from Megan Brown-Saldana, Director of Donor Relations and Madelyn Beverlin, Volunteer & Events Coordinator from Humility Home & Services. In 1990, the Congregation of the Humility of Mary established Humility of Mary Housing, Inc. Since then, Humility of Mary Housing has assisted hundreds of previously homeless families in finding safe, quality housing and has helped them re-establish their own loving homes.
In September 2008, the only emergency shelter in the Quad Cities was facing bankruptcy. City and business leaders sought the Congregation's help to keep the John Lewis Shelter open. Within 30 days, $300,000 was raised through the collaborative efforts of business, philanthropic, religious and personal donations. With funding secured, the Congregation founded Humility of Mary Shelter, Inc. The shelter has remained open and provided services uninterrupted since 2008.
In July 2018, Humility of Mary Housing, Inc. and Humility of Mary Shelter, Inc. merged to become Humility Homes and Services, Inc. With nearly 40 years of combined experience of creating housing opportunities to all who need it, with your help, we are well positioned to meet the housing challenges in the Quad Cities. The women from Humility also mentioned their Block Party for June 8. They have sent along info for volunteers to help with the event: How to Volunteer: 1.
