SAFH has a successful record of providing continuous service for 12 years. In partnership with Trinity, SAFH has provided employment to many neighborhood residents, meaningful volunteer work for many more, and enabled many to return to independent living. It has invested over 1.5 million dollars in economic aid in a community here as many as 64 percent of the residents live below the poverty line. In June 1996, SAFH and Trinity completed the construction of a new building that includes a restaurant-grade kitchen and a dining area that seats 75 guests. SAFH is eager to broaden public and private support in anticipation of increasing need.
