💛 A remarkable milestone deserves a special celebration! 💛

We're excited to share that Marilyn Roberts has now donated her 500th handmade blanket to Sunflower House!

Each blanket is lovingly crafted and placed on our shelves, ready to be given to the children and families who come through our doors. More than just a blanket, these gifts provide warmth, comfort, and a reminder that an entire community cares about them during difficult times.

We're also deeply grateful to everyone who shares their time, talents, and treasures with Sunflower House. Your support makes our mission possible and helps us continue providing hope and healing to those who need it most. 💙🌻

Overwhelming gratitude. 💛🌻

Sunflower House is incredibly honored to share that we were selected by the Hunt Family Foundation as one of just 18 organizations to receive a grant this year, and for the very first time! Receiving this $20,000 award is a meaningful investment in our mission to provide hope, healing, and justice for children and families in our community.

We were also grateful for the opportunity to celebrate alongside fellow nonprofit partners and community leaders. This recognition reflects the dedication of everyone who touches Sunflower House including staff, volunteers, donors, community partners, and every person who believes that children deserve a safe place to be heard and supported.

Thank you to the Hunt Family Foundation for investing in organizations that strengthen our community and create brighter futures for children. We are deeply grateful for your partnership and look forward to the impact we can make together.

At Sunflower House, every child deserves to feel safe, supported, and heard. 💛

The kind words shared by children remind us why trauma-informed spaces and compassionate care matter so deeply. Creating an environment where children feel comfortable enough to speak, heal, and simply be kids is at the heart of everything we do.

These moments mean more than words can express. Thank you for helping us make a difference in our community.

Today, we remember and honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their courage, sacrifice, and dedication will never be forgotten. 🇺🇸

As we spend time with family and friends this Memorial Day, we pause in gratitude for those who made that freedom possible.

School may be out for summer, but learning how to protect children never takes a break. ☀️

Sunflower House offers free trainings designed to help adults recognize signs of abuse, respond appropriately, and create safer environments for children in our community.

Whether you’re a parent, caregiver, educator, coach, volunteer, or community member, your knowledge can make a difference.

🌳 We need your help, community!

Last night’s weather brought down a tree at Sunflower House, and we’re looking for volunteers who may be able to help us clear it safely and quickly.

If you have time, tools, or expertise to lend a hand, we’d be so grateful for your support. Every bit of help makes a difference as we work to get our space back in shape for the children and families we serve.

Please reach out to [email protected] if you’re able to help or want more details. Thank you for always showing up for Sunflower House 💛
