Parent Engagement Night
Welcome to The Comfort House...A Real Home for Kids
We are extremely excited about this presentation with Trauma Expert Becky Haas, who is an international advocate, trainer, and organizational coach on using a trauma informed approach, the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) study and Positive Childhood Experiences (PCEs) study. She is a pioneer in creating trauma informed communities. These values align strongly with our goals here at the Comfort House and we look forward to her guidance and expertise.
Our Housewarming!
We held our housewarming in December 2025 and were so overwhelmed by the love and support from the community!
It was a perfect way to celebrate the season, look back on everything we've accomplished already and look forward to everything the new year has in store.
Biggest Little Hoedown
Our 1st Annual Biggest Little Hoedown was held in October 2024 and included live entertainment, line dancing, an outdoor flea market, food, prizes and so much more. We had a great turnout and were so impressed by the support from the community. We look forward to doing it again next year!
