I have done work with STEHM in the past in working on their finances. I can confidently say they are a fantastic organization. STEHM goes above and beyond for its families, at times when families have nowhere else to turn. Whether it is education, daily necessities, or simply putting a roof over people's heads, STEHM is kind and detail-oriented in the communities they serve. Everything at the organization is guided by its North Star of supporting women and their families. The proactive individuals behind these efforts lead with positivity and loving smiles; STEHM is an inspiration!
Stehm is a hidden gem in the Wilmington, DE area. It offers a program to support women and their children get out of homelessness by providing them a place to live, community support and education. The staff are amazing too!
How much the Board believes in this organization is evident by the amount of volunteer hours they put in. This is definitely a working Board including repair work and gardening when needed.
My experience with STEHM, Inc. started two years ago when a good friend asked me to get involved. As soon as she shared the mission, I was immediately interested and willing to help. I don't always have time to volunteer in person (full-time working mom with young kids), but I love giving back!! I have enjoyed helping the organization find furniture for the women graduates and toys/books for the resident children. I am lucky and grateful to live in such a wonderful and generous community. I hope STEHM, Inc. continues to grow and help even more women and children! We need more organizations like this!!!
Stehm has a very positive impact on the community of Delaware. The work the non-profit does is meaningful and long-lasting. I'm grateful for the role Stehm has played in helping and improving the lives of thousands of women and children in DE.
STEHM provides an essential service in the Wilmington area by not only providing emergency shelter but also long-term support to displaced individuals. The role of STEHM is particularly important in the wake of the pandemic where the world changed around us. In particular, I am impressed by Martha House and the stability it provides children. STEHM is an incredible organization.
Supporting individuals and families experiencing homelessness is a difficult and challenging role. For nearly four decades STEHM has fulfilled this need in Wilmington with a fully dedicated staff of volunteers. No overhead. Volunteers write grants, oversee the residence and everything in between.
The level of commitment that these ladies who constitute STEHM have to help our community is inspiring. I have the fortune of have being friends with many of STEHM’s board members for years and I know they give their time and talents generously and selflessly and that they care for the women who live in their houses sincerely to the point of committing their personal time to tutor and support them for as long as needed. What a wonderful organization!
What a wonderful group of caring volunteers that have the desire to help men, women and children who struggle with simple needs of every day life… shelter, food and life’s obstacles.
Being a board member of Stehm for many years I am proud to be associated with such an organization who's purpose is clearly stated and mission is so vital to the needs of todays issues….homelessness.
STEHM is a great nonprofit that works on the ground working to help our residents learn their independence by providing transitional housing, financial training, and various workshops. My fellow board members are passionate about helping our residents succeed, it's a great organization to volunteers with.
STEHM, Inc. has been providing services to homeless persons for 36 years. There are two distinct programs. One provides much needed short term emergency housing in motels. The other offers supported transitional services in a homelike setting with movement to independent housing as the outcome. 80% of residents complete our program achieve this goal
I've been a volunteer board member for STEHM, Inc since 2012. I've been very impressed with the staff and board. They are very caring and have done remarkable work helping women and children move into independent housing. They have life-skills workshops and also financial workshops for the women which to me, is a critical element in becoming independent and being successful in staying independent.
