THE CLARE TO CLARE

STORYBeginning with the influence of her community-minded mother, who was instrumental in helping start the first Brother Francis Shelter in Kodiak, Clare Fulp gave up a job as a fashion specialist to pursue a career in Education.

Upon returning to Alaska, she met and became friends with Sister Xiamora, an Adrian Dominican nun, and a fashion designer who volunteered at Clare House. This idea, with her mother’s support and influence, led to the birth of Clare to Clare: Fashion for a Cause.

In 2009, Clare presented her idea of a fashion show and silent auction fundraiser for Catholic Social Services and the idea of Clare to Clare was born.

Clare House is named after Saint Clare, a Catholic nun and follower of St. Francis of Assisi, who gave her life to eliminating poverty and empowering the poor.

CATHOLIC SOCIAL SERVICES’ MISSIONCompassionately serve the poor and those in need

Strengthen individuals and families

Advocate for social justice

CLARE HOUSE INFORMATIONThe fastest growing homeless segment in our nation is women with young children; women who find themselves in crisis, homeless, or otherwise in need. Their primary concern is finding food, shelter, and clothing for themselves and their children. During fiscal year 2013, 430 individuals utilized 15,167 bed nights at Clare House. Clare House is trying to break the cycle of poverty by offering classes on life skills to residents. Women staying at Clare House learn every day budgeting and employment readiness.

Approximately 60% of the residents at Clare House are children. With the help of churches, service groups, and donors, Clare House provides approximately 180 meals and 150 snacks a day. Nearly 35% of Clare House’s operating budget comes from private donations.

Please visit cssalaska.org to make a donation or send your donation to the Catholic Social Services’ Development Office at 3710 East 20th Avenue, Anchorage, AK 99508.

“They give you what you need to get going. I’ve always been independent, so I know you need to do the footwork yourself. You can’t have them do it for you!”

-TRACY, a mother of two young children who stayed at Clare House for three weeks during a difficult period in her life

“Clare House is a place to get help, not to hide.”

-PAT, a former waitress and bartender who worked consistently throughout her life before a disabling back injury

“I am a grown woman – a mom with kids to take care of. I made some bad decisions, but I’m ready to start making some good ones.”

-DEBBI, during her first night at Clare House

“My boys and I would still be sleeping in my car if it wasn’t for Clare House. I am so grateful for their help.”

-MONICA, a newly divorced mom with two teenage sons

STORIES FROM CLARE HOUSE

55

Before our intermission we will be holding a “MOMENT OF LOVE” for this evening. You will see volunteers moving throughout the ballroom, to pick up your personal donation tonight.

Please consider making a donation. Every little bit matters to a person with nothing. Boxes will be located by each exit at the end of the show to deposit your gift.

Your time is valuable to us as well. We are always looking for fantastic volunteers to help out as needed. Your spare time could make the biggest difference in the life of someone in Alaska.

Prior to having children, Arvella never accessed any type of social service assistance and had little sympathy for homeless people. The United States Army brought Arvella and her family to Anchorage 25 years ago and she spent her young adulthood working and paying all her bills on time. She was never well-off but always lived comfortably and enjoyed being independent.

A decade later, Arvella’s life changed drastically. She was a single mom with three children living at Clare House. Arvella’s story is all too common: a worn out welcome with a friend or relative, increasingly expensive child care costs and employment juggling. Arvella acknowledges what a humbling experience homelessness has been and how it has inspired her to set financial goals for her future.

“I don’t want to put my children through this again, I have never felt so vulnerable and it has been really hard to live this way.”

Working with her case manager, Arvella is making progress on her plan to secure employment, childcare and housing.

92.9 KFAT is proud to support the Clare House and their mission to assist and empower the women and children of our community.
