"TIP" Sister Pat

Hi, I'm S. Pat Newhouse, a Sister of Charity of Cincinnati. I love being involved in community projects that help the needy and have supported Haven House as a star server for the last 10 years, remaining the People's Champion with the most donors.

Although I stepped away from my role as an active Star Server in 2025 and now reside in Cincinnati, I remain committed to supporting their mission from afar and hope those who have supported my efforts will continue to do so in 2026.

Meeting a homeless mom with a six-day old baby at Haven House moved my heart and spurred my efforts to help homeless families and to inspire others to do the same. With your help I have raised over $180,000. That has helped put 90 families in homes.

Haven House not only helps families find housing, but it helps families by developing and promoting self-sufficiency, stability, and financial responsibility. They provide crisis counseling assistance, goal setting, budgeting, and referrals to other agencies as needed.

I strongly encourage all of you to please inform your friends about this wonderful organization. If everybody contributes to this great cause together, we can make miracles happen for homeless families and get them back on their feet.

Join me and the other Star Servers for the 14th Annual Pancake Palooza on Saturday, February 28, 2026, at 2|42 Community Church, 2600 Bennett Rd., Okemos, MI.

You can donate any time between now and then to support my fundraising efforts. Here are ways you can donate:
* Online under my name at: havenhouseel.org/sisterpat "This donation page"
