House of Blessing axes some programs to focus on others

The Stratford House of Blessing says it’ll be focused on three areas over the next three years. They’re the food bank, children, and clothing.

Things that didn’t make the cut are the furniture program, the “Cooking on a Budget” and “Home With a Heart” classes.
