WELCOME HOM E "MAKING A DIFFERENCE In 2017/2018 Welcome Home has been making a real hands on difference helping the youth of Carlton County who are in need We have been able to help our youth by working with the Carlton County Collaborative and school counselors from Barnum Cromwell/Wright, Moose Lake, Carlton and Wrenshall This has enabled Welcome Home to continue our outreach mission Below are a few testimonies from counselors: - Grateful and humbled by the generosity of Welcome Home and those working to make money available to our students who lack the very basics." " - Gym shorts, winter coats, boots, snow pants, mittens, hats, personal hygiene products, laun- dry detergent (washing clothes at school) Student attendance rises when they know they will have clean clothes to wear at school and when they know they have a place to get clean. When their hygiene improves it does wonders for their self-esteem. Through Welcome Home, we were able to purchase glasses for a student who went months without being able to see. I could not be any more grate ful to have such a valuable resource for our students 8l "It's so nice to have our community see a need and find a way to help fill that need with love and respect." From the testimonies you can see that your continued support is vital. At this time we need your Donations to continue this much needed resource As always all money donated goes directly to helping our youth. Our heartfelt thank you to all who have supported the Welcome Home efforts now and in the past Together we are making real difference NEW Welcome Home Address: P.O. Box 11 Carlton, MN 55718
