In June 2019, Open Your Heart awarded Ruth’s House of Hope with funding for two new freezers to be able to provide more food to families experiencing homelessness. Highlighting the impact that it’s already had on the shelter, one staff member states:
“The grant from Open Your Heart allowed Ruth’s House to replace our two outdated freezers with two new commercial freezers compliant with NSF for our Emergency and Transitional Shelter. The majority of women and children who come to Ruth’s House come without food or the ability to get food. Ruth’s House is truly grateful to Open Your Heart for your generosity and partnership in helping us continue to bring families around the dinner table to share healthy meals together!”
