PORT ANGELES — Serenity House of Clallam County received a $2,500 grant from the U.S. Bank Foundation on Oct. 1, supporting the Dream U program for Homeless Youth and Young Adults.
“With targeted grants and hands-on volunteerism, U.S. Bank and your local manager, Lisa Meyer, have supported the work to end homelessness in Clallam County, for more than a dozen years,” Serenity House Executive Director Kathy Wahto said.
“We started Dream U last year to focus on helping homeless and at-risk young people, ages 17 to 24, to get the education and vocational support they need to be successful in life, so it is a great follow-up to U.S. Bank’s past support of our child care and family programs,” she said.
Serenity House is a community-based private nonprofit agency dedicated to preventing and ending homelessness in Clallam County. Founded in 1982, the agency began offering services designed specifically for youth who are homeless or at-risk in 2004.
