We believe that personal wellness—physical, mental and emotional—is critical to thriving families.
After decades with four core organizational beliefs underpinning our work, HomeFront recently added “Personal Wellness” as a fifth pillar. While this outward-facing statement may be new, it highlights our longstanding organizational belief and our current programming. We have long felt that families need personal wellness for a life that goes beyond basic survival to thriving, a belief that has been affirmed by our health and wellness programming. These include our healthcare activities, partnerships and educational efforts, as well as our life-affirming, therapeutic programs such as ArtSpace and SewingSpace and wellness programming.
ArtSpace is HomeFront's therapeutic art program, consisting of two spacious studios: one at the heart of HomeFront’s Family Campus, Ewing NJ, another at our headquarters, 1880 Princeton Pike, Lawrence Township NJ. As you enter, you are greeted by warm, light-filled spaces and calming music. These non-threatening safe spaces welcome you to look around and pick up a paint brush.
Also located at HomeFront’s Lawrence Township headquarters, SewingSpace offers clients a chance to learn to sew and construct usable and sellable items, such as tote bags, handbags, pillows, wine bags, pin cushions, table runners, holiday ornaments, and baby items, as well as an opportunity to learn the techniques of re-upholstery. “Never underestimate the power of a person with a sewing machine!” reads a plaque prominently displayed in the lively SewingSpace workshop. They receive a path for potential income while feeling pride in their creations.
