Partners
In spite of the fact that Happy House participates in a number of federal and state programs, we would not have sufficient funds to operate without the generosity of private donations from civic organizations, churches, and individuals. Many donations received are earmarked for our scholarship program that assists families who “fall through the cracks” for outside funding.
