Marzette's House Outreach
Services
At Marzette's House, we are dedicated to helping those in need by lending a hand up, not a handout. Through our range of services, we strive to be the extra support to those who want it. Our programs are designed to empower individuals and communities that will create positive changes. From Healthy Hearts and Mind to Blessing of the Children, we offer support, resources, and opportunities for all community members. Join us in our mission to create change. Let's make a lasting impact on our Antelope Valley community.
Healthy Hearts and Mind
Project Healthy Hearts and Minds began in 2022 with the City of Palmdale's sponsorship. We provided healthy eating workshops focused on Eating Healthy on a Budget, Healthy Families: Setting the Table for Healthy Eating, and Mindfulness/Self Care. We provided our families with access to fresh vegetables and healthy food. Families completed hands-on activities in these workshops, which included replacing our meal favorites with healthy options and using pictures and grocery ads to plan a healthy meal on a budget. Marzette’s House has partnerships with the AV Wellbeing Coalition, SAVES, the City of Palmdale, and our Project Healthy Hearts and Mind Coalition, which supports mental health in our community.
Mentoring + Tutoring
Tutoring and mentoring programs within Marzette's House serve a purpose in fostering academic success, personal development, and community empowerment. These programs such as #Sisterhood, Blessing of the Children, and our Annual Tea Party provide individualized support to students, particularly those from underserved backgrounds, helping them academically and build life skills. Through one-on-one guidance and encouragement, tutors and mentors serve as positive role models, instilling confidence and motivation in their mentees. By nurturing talent and empowering individuals to reach their full potential, tutoring and mentoring programs not only contribute to educational achievement but also promote social and community engagement.
Hot Meals + Hygiene Kits
The distribution of hot meals and hygiene kits to the unhoused community members serves a crucial purpose within Marzette's House. Hot meals provide nourishment and comfort. We go to the people making us a unique outreach in the Antelope Valley. Additionally, hygiene kits containing essentials like soap, toothpaste, and clean clothing. By meeting these fundamental needs, Marzette's House helps alleviate immediate suffering, working towards a society where everyone has access to basic necessities and the opportunity for a better future.
