"Thank you" hardly feels like enough when it comes to volunteers like Linda!

Linda and her incredible team have furnished and decorated more than 50 apartments for families at BHA, helping transform empty spaces into welcoming homes. Their generosity, dedication, and compassion have made a lasting impact on so many lives, and we are beyond grateful.

A special shoutout to MoversFor.Me for all they do to help deliver and move furniture into these apartments. Their partnership makes this work possible!

They say it takes a village, and this is exactly what that looks like. We are so fortunate to be surrounded by people and organizations who show up, give back, and care deeply about our community. Thank you for helping families feel at home. ❤️

Linda Geesaman, a volunteer with Brethren Housing Association, has helped furnish over 50 apartments in Harrisburg, giving families experiencing homelessness a fresh start with fully furnished homes.
