EXTREME WEBSITE MAKEOVER!!

HAPPY 10TH BIRTHDAY, GRANNY'S HOUSE!!

It's hard to believe that Granny's House first opened it's doors to public housing children 10 years ago...

Ten incredible years of hugs, and love, and laughter as we constantly come up with new ways to "smear" the love of God on the children cross our threshold on Trinity Place each weekday afternoon.

To celebrate this milestone, we have a summer-long "Online Birthday Party" planned via, this blog, Facebook, and our soon-to-be-unveiled renovated website.

Check in often for leisurely strolls down memory lane to learn about kids who, literally, grew up at Granny's House; read about refugee kids whose lives are being transformed in our midst; meet volunteers and staff members whose passion for the Lord and children have made Granny's House kids' favorite place to be after school.

In the meantime, we couldn't wait for you to get a sneak preview of our all-spruced-up website which will go "live" any day now...

CONGRATULATIONS GRANNY'S HOUSE MOM!!

When Katrina (we call her “Trina”) recently walked across the stage at Columbia College’s Graduation ceremony, we were thrilled that another Granny’s House mom could now claim that lofty title, “College Graduate!”

As if working a full time job to put food on the table for her children, managing their meals, school projects, and afterschool activities weren’t enough, she had the grace, grit, and perseverance to plough through years of homework assignments, research papers, and late-into-the-night study sessions to get that coveted degree: Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice.

And we were not the only one’s who are proud of her. We joined a host of family and friends who traveled to Columbia to congratulate this huge accomplishment. Her children were beaming. In fact, one of them said, “I’m glad she did it! Now I know that I can do the same!”
