Brenda’s House

In 2009, the Children's Cottage Society opened Brenda's House with the help of The Brenda Strafford Foundation. The donation of the use of the house has enabled the Children's Cottage Society to provide emergency family shelter for families who are currently experiencing homelessness. Families can be together in a safe, homelike environment and receive the support and the resources they need.
