Development
- Fundraising and Special Events – Serve on a committee for HOS events, sponsor a fundraising project through your local business, school or faith community, work on special projects or at HOS events, or adopt Home of the Sparrow as your charity of choice for your own organization’s special event/fundraiser.
- Community Outreach – Invite HOS representatives to speak to your social, civic, or religious organization. Be a representative of HOS at chamber meetings and events. This can be a very simple but critical way anyone can help us, to get us invited to a group you are part of or know about, so that we can spread the word about our mission!
