Channeling Itzhak Perlman

Earlier this summer, Mustard Seed was honored to have a guest violinist come to play and work with some of our young people.

Being prepared

And to help Mustard Seed to be prepared, a group of local Boy Scouts created a first aid kit for our use. We offer many thanks to these fine young men and their counselor.

Going shopping

When there is food shopping to be done for Mustard Seed, we send out a small army to Sam's Club to clean out the aisles.

Paving the bike path

A very popular attraction at the Mustard Seed house is our bicycle path. At any given time of the day, it is not unusual to see several kids spinning around on their bicycles. But, in time, the path had become broken up and rough to ride.

We were blessed earlier this summer by a substantial gift from the Congregation of  the Sisters of the Divine Compassion of a new and expanded bike path. The gift was to commemorate our 20th year, as well as the 125th year of the  Divine Compassion Sisters.
