Our Mission is to create and maintain a land-based community together with adults with special needs. Inspired by Anthroposophy, members of the community support one another to contribute to the wider society through biodynamic agriculture, social, cultural and educational endeavors. We are more than 110 people with and without disabilities, sharing daily life, in ways that are intentionally therapeutic and intentionally social. We are a community dedicated to sharing the values of service, spiritual nourishment, and recognition of each individual’s contributions.

Homelessness in our communities will be rare, brief, and nonrecurring. The women we serve will be equipped and inspired to achieve their personal goals, the impacts of which will be felt for generations. Home of the Sparrow will be regarded as a trusted service provider, thought leader, and partner. Our organization will bring people and organizations together to solve the problem of homelessness and to create better futures for women and their children.

Natural Lands is a non-profit organization that saves open space, cares for nature, and connects people to the outdoors in eastern Pennsylvania and southern New Jersey. We’ve been at it since the early 1950s and, today, nearly five million people live within five miles of lands under our permanent protection.
