TODAY!!! SATURDAY APRIL 13th, RUTHY'S KIDS ARE HOSTING 
"HELP FOR THE HOMELESS"


From 8:00 this morning until 6:00 tonight (and before and after) Ruthy's former daycare clients and current grandkids will be gathering money (noisy money and quiet money, too!!!) new clothes, food, baby supplies for two homeless shelters in Rochester, NY, a city where poverty has gripped far too many for way too long. If you're in Western New York, stop by the farm and chat a while... And there could be cookies in the mix!

Proceeds will go to House of Mercy, a wonderful shelter founded by Sister Grace Mitchell when she saw too many shelters closing doors on ice-cold nights.... And 50% of the donations will go to The Margaret Home, a brand new home for homeless unwed mothers. They'll be able to have their babies and stay there up to two years while working on their GED and/or job placement. Two beautiful additions to our community.

  1. Ruthy, such great outreach! Bless you for helping so many!

    Praying for all Seekerville friends during this stormy weekend. Stay safe!

    I'm still basking in CFRR 2019 afterglow! Such a wonderful gathering! Waving to everyone who was there. I got home WED eve and have been catching up since then.

    Have a blessed Palm Sunday!

  2. Happy Weekend, Seekerville!

    Praying for a successful outreach for Ruthy & Co. What a great idea!

    We're recovering from the blizzard that came through this week. There is still a three foot snow drift in the yard, but with today's southeast wind, it won't last long.

    Looking forward to spring weather!

    Have a great weekend, everyone!

  3. Ruthy has a wonderful heart, and what a great time to do it (Easter/Lent).
    I am off social media for Holy Week.
    I appreciate the Seekers, Villagers and all you do. I will be back in the mix Easter Monday.

  4. Fun WE and Ruthy and her bunch are out raising money. How wonderful! Love you! :)

    Me? Well, I was SO excited to get to stay HOME today for a change. Just polished off a piece (or two... ahem) of sugar-free low-carb Trim Healthy Mama Pumpkin Cheesecake and finishing my second cup of coffee while contemplating my list of things to accomplish on this rainy day.
