Recently, Family House had a fun-filled day for families to enjoy together, thanks to our incredible friends at Five Lakes Church! From Family Fun Days to so much more, Five Lakes Church is always showing up for the families we serve. We’re so grateful for their continued support, generosity and willingness to make special moments like this possible. 💙

Thank you Five Lakes Church for all you do!

The need is growing. Across Northwest Ohio, families are facing rising costs, fewer resources and an increasingly difficult path to stability. As social services are stretched thin, more families are finding themselves at risk of homelessness, and those who are already experiencing homelessness are facing longer waits for support.

At Leading Families Home, we see this need every day. We believe every family deserves the opportunity to find safety, stability and a place to call home.

This story from 13abc highlights just how urgent that need has become, and why continued community support matters now more than ever. Together, we can help families move forward. ❤️

United Way of Greater Toledo 211 has seen a large number of calls recently. The director says more people are reaching out for help, but resources are dwindling.

As the weather invites more time outside, we're looking for donations to help our families enjoy safe, fun outdoor spaces. We are currently seeking gently used patio furniture and outdoor play equipment for children in good condition. These items help create welcoming places where families can relax, connect, and make lasting memories together. If you have items you're no longer using, we'd be grateful for your support. Every donation helps make our houses feel even more like home.

If you would like to donate, please reach out to Stephanie at [email protected].

Volunteers are at the heart of what we do. We were grateful to welcome the youth group from Sharonville United Methodist Church to Family House! Their group rolled up their sleeves and tackled everything from cleaning outdoor spaces to organizing our donation room, pantry and kitchen.

Every project they completed helps create a more welcoming environment for the families who call Family House home.

Thank you for your hard work, your servant hearts and for making a lasting impact. We loved having you with us!
