Natalie's Story

"When I first came to Gilead House I was at a very low point in my life. I had just come off being on an ankle bracelet for a year. I had eight felonies and my life had not turned out how I thought it would."

"I was finally looking at life through sober eyes, everything was new, it was like being reborn and having to start all over from scratch."

THE COMMUNITY BOARD

The Community Board for Gilead House is comprised of members from Marin Churches who serve as liaisons between Gilead House and their respective churches.  They raise awareness of our mission through distributing brochures, newsletters, and providing opportunities to volunteer through the appropriate communication vehicles at their churches.

The board members promote GH’s special events such as the Olive Harvest-picking, dinners, etc. by distributing flyers and handling ticket sales as needed. They also represent their churches’ concerns and ideas to Gilead House, to generate mutual support.  The volunteers serve for two years on the Community Board and, ideally, select their own replacements from their home churches.
