Who could pass up an opportunity for a Hot Dog Picnic with the summer weather we have been having in mid-March?

The families at A House of Blessing Youngstown did just that one evening recently.  Everyone enjoyed a hot dog supper complete with chips, lemonade and fresh fruit for dessert.  The playground at the Youngstown site provided plenty for the kids to do besides eat!!! 

Families living at A House of Blessing in Youngstown recently celebrated March birthdays with volunteers from Making Kids Count.  The group enjoyed pizza and cake before heading outside for some fun in the sun.  Every month Making Kids Count visits Beatitude House to help the children celebrate their special day.

What would Valentine’s Day be without a Heart shaped cookie made with love? 

The children at A House of Blessing Youngstown had an opportunity to use  their “sweet tooth” to ice and decorate large heart shaped sugar cookies.  They tasted as good as they looked, too.  Thank you to  Jean Berger, a Beatitude House friend, who baked over 4 dozen cookies and sent the colored icings and sprinkles to complete the job.

Work continues on the former St. Joseph Elementary School in Ashtabula, where the building is being renovated to create homes for 10 homeless families.

On December 23rd, the children of A House of Blessing Warren and Youngstown were treated to a Birthday Bowling Party to celebrate the birthdays of all of the children born in December.   In addition to bowling, pizza, pop and treat bags, three children received birthday gifts from Making Kids Count as part of their monthly birthday celebrations at each site. No one kept score but eveyone had a great time!!

A special Thank You to Making Kids Count for helping f us start the Christmas weekend is such a special way.
