Being able to give back to our community is one of the most rewarding feelings that a business can do. Whether it is giving funds or volunteering, it will enrich some other person's life. I have chosen to use my painting talents to brighten the teen residence of Alternative House. The photos you see are paintings that I am doing in the teen's kitchen and lounge area at present. It will be an ongoing project, involving input from the teens and staff.

Alternative House--The Abused and Homeless Children's Refuge helps give young people hope for brighter futures. It offers emergency shelters for teenagers, is a community outreach program, and offers residential programs for homeless pregnant and parenting young women and their children.
