shelter and to be able to volunteer my services for health screenings or
other needs to this shelter. As a community nurse I could also go to the
shelter and provide education on many things such as healthy eating
habits, nutrition, exercise, and practicing good hygiene with the children.

Shannon,
That's such a great program for woman in your community who need help
and can give them a fresh start. As a nurse we sometimes are the only
ones that can get our patients to open up about some hard topics they
may be facing in life. It is amazing how you can inspire these women to
get out of these difficult situations and tell your story as well. They find
strength through you and Martha's Home.

Name of agency and why you selected this agency:
The agency that I chose to discuss is Servants to All. This establishment
provides services to the homeless in Schuykill County, PA. I chose this
agency because I feel that the homeless population as a whole, is often
neglected and in a sense, forgotten about. Many people do not realize
that many of these homeless men and women are in their current
situation as a result of domestic violence, mental illness or poor life
choices, and they do not want to be homeless, but do not know where to
turn to for help. Many of the people in the homeless population were not
always homeless and many do not know how to get out of their current
situation. An agency such as Servants to All, helps provide services and
resources to help the homeless start to piece their lives back together and
eventually get off of the streets.
Brief history and mission of the agency:
The agency Servants to All, is also known as “My Father’s House”. This
establishment is located in the heart of Pottsville, PA on 4 South Centre
Street. Servants to All is, “ a safe and caring environment that serves
Schuylkill County by providing emergency housing, material goods, and
supportive services to homeless men and women striving to obtain
sustainable independence” ( About Us | Servants to All-mfh , n.d., para.
1). The mission of Servants to All is, “to break the cycle of repeat
homelessness by strengthening the individual’s internal mechanisms
related to positive life choices, and by building bridges to sustainable
independence” ( Vision | Servants to All-mfh , n.d., para. 1).
