The 2025 Home Sweet Home was a huge success! Thank you to everyone who joined and supported us at our annual Home Sweet Home chocolate-tasting gala. The work we do at NHA is only made possible by our amazing partners and supporters, and it was wonderful to see so many of you at this delightful and impactful event. Home Sweet Home is our largest fundraiser of the year and brings it crucial funds to support our work.
This year we celebrated three new Impact Award Winners:
- PDX Diaper Bank, Fiona Simms, thank you for making sure families in NHA properties receive the basic necessity of diapers for their children.
- Roundhouse Foundation, Mel Petterson, thank you for being one of our most impactful partners when it comes to supporting rural Oregonians by helping us bring affordable housing projects to Ontario, the Oregon Coast, and Sisters.
- Karen Weliky, thank you for being a dedicated supporter of NHA since the 90s including the free dental care you offered our emergency shelter participants and your volunteer photography including that at this year’s Home Sweet Home event!
