Kids Reading to Succeed, 712 E Villa St, Pasadena, CA 91101, US

HistoryElizabeth House was birthed as an idea in 1993 after a local Pasadena resident donated a house to the Pasadena Covenant Church for the purpose of serving at-risk women and children in the community. A task force researched the need in the greater Pasadena area and concluded that there was not a shelter in existence within 15 miles that specifically took in adult pregnant women who may or may not already have children. It was during this time, that the Task Force chairperson, Debora Unruh, witnessed firsthand in the hospital, a woman losing custody of her newborn baby due to her drug use and homeless situation. This experience infused in Debora, a passion to make a difference in this target population. As the founding director, she led community partners, churches, civic groups, individuals, businesses, and foundations in a partnership of opening the house to its first resident on July 15, 1994.SpecialtiesDonate today for your Holiday Giving!
