“It’s not a handout, but part of a transition plan…I plan to continue my support of this very worthwhile organization.”
Pat Hynes, Vice President of Global Quality, Baxa Corporation, Lift-A-Hammer Supervisor

“I have worked with several non-profit and public agencies and have found Family HomeStead to be one of the best. They have a high success rate of getting homeless families back on their feet, employed, and in their own homes. Their success, I believe, is due to the effective process they have developed for families to regain their self-sufficiency and the dedication and professionalism of the limited staff they have. I continually marvel at what they are accomplishing…”
William Adcock, Ph D., Environmental Advisor (Ret), Shell Oil Company, Lift-A-Hammer Supervisor

“If all organizations in Denver could accomplish as much as this organization does with the resources they have, and if more organizations were to apply their common sense approach to fighting the root causes of homelessness, there would be a lot less homeless families in Denver.”
John R. Keller, Manager, Mid Continent Asset Group, Whiting Petroleum Corporation, Lift-A-Hammer Supervisor

“This commitment to seeking the strengths of individual families, even those in the most difficult of circumstances, and building on those strengths, is, in my opinion, one of the keys to Family HomeStead’s success.”
Janet B. Manning, Community Volunteer, founder of HomeSteaders

“I have been involved with this organization for about 15 years in various capacities. The past few years my role has been that of a Director on the Board. I am still genuinely moved by the effect Family HomeStead has on the lives of the families we help and the compassion and caring exhibited day after day by the Family HomeStead staff in working with the families.”
Ed Drummond, Partner, Hanson & Company, Family HomeStead Board President 2007-2009
