Today, Elizabeth House celebrates Juneteenth, the oldest commemoration of the end of slavery in the United States. One hundred and fifty-five years ago on June 19, 1865, two and a half years years after Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, slaves in Texas were finally ordered free by General Gordon Granger. For more information on Juneteenth, visit Juneteenth.com. Also, Elizabeth House Board member, David Samuels, shares from his personal life in an article entitled "An Almost Thirty Year Journey of a non African-Americam Black Man residing in the US."

The Heart of Elizabeth House for the Families We Serve Over the past months, in response to the COVID-19 outbreak, Elizabeth House has made every effort to lovingly support our residents and alumni in furtherance of our mission. We now face another national crisis brought again to the fore by the death of George Floyd while in police custody, and widespread demonstrations that have ensued.... The board and staff of Elizabeth House are heartbroken and grieve with the Floyd family. As a faith-based nonprofit, we stand in solidarity with efforts towards race reconciliation in our communities and remain committed to values of justice and equality. Elizabeth House affirms the rights of all our mothers and children, most of whom are from minority populations. Since our founding, our heart has been to heal and empower pregnant and parenting women and their children experiencing homelessness. Through our Residential Program, Alumni Services and our new Center for Mother and Child Wellbeing, we continue to provide wrap-around, life-long care to our families so they can build successful legacies against all odds. To all our resident and alumni mothers and children, please know that we see you, we hear you, we love you very much and we’re always thinking about better ways to serve you. elizabethhouse.net/communitymessages #equality #racialreconciliation #blacklivesmatter #mylifematters #moms #children

Sisterhood Spotlight! Just look at young Anthony in the kitchen learning to cook! That's amazing! He's also learning about Jesus and how he helped others - like when he helped the disciples get a large catch of fish (Talk about provision in difficult times.) Raquel, you're doing a wonderful job with Anthony. Thank you so much for sharing from your life during this time of dealing with the pandemic. It's so encouraging to other moms, to your Elizabeth House Sisterhood, who are also at home with their kids #sisterhood #momsandkids #kidsathome @ Pasadena, California
