This podcast will concentrate on The Home of the Sparrow based in Chester County, Pennsylvania. They provide critical services to single women and children who are facing issues such as, but not limited to, homelessness, eviction, food insecurity, healthcare, and domestic violence to name a few. The focus of the podcast is to demonstrate the vast array of services provided by individual organizations operating in Chester County. I also hope that this provides a blueprint of services that could be available in different counties throughout the Commonwealth. If you don't live in Chester County but are in need of similar services that Home of the Sparrow provides, please reach out to them as there is a network of organizations that can potentially provide assistance. Additionally, if you're interested in volunteering for Home of the Sparrow, please contact them on their website.
