Our Story
Founded in February 2021 by Pam, Renee, and Sister Susan, JALS Inc. emerged from a deep commitment to assist homeless families in Geauga County. Pam's personal journey, marked by the loss of her daughter and granddaughter, fueled her passion for helping those in need. Renee's inspiration came from a news article highlighting the struggles of homeless families, igniting her desire to make a difference. Together, they recognized the urgent need for a family shelter and successfully purchased a property in November 2021, establishing a safe haven for families facing housing insecurity.
