“Sarah Heinz House is so much more than just a recreational center; it's a community within a community. It is a place where youth are provided with opportunities to excel, to benefit themselves and others. It is a place where members, volunteers, and staff, regardless of age, sex, or race become close friends and these lifelong friends turn into family because of the bond we share of being "Heinz Housers."
Bob B. (1980-1990)
“To be a true member of the House, you really need to accept it as a way of life. It has helped to mold me into the man I am today, and I am better because of it.”

"Being an active member of SHH provided me with positive role models that afforded me the confidence to become a leader and to serve others within the club and my community."
Linda (Gartner) Braund (1962-1966)
"Sarah Heinz House played an important role in my childhood--it was a constant positive influence on my life. It gave me the opportunity to play, laugh, and learn every week, and at the same time helped to prepare me for adulthood by reinforcing the core values of honesty and integrity. I have many fond memories and a soft-spot in my heart for "The House." My gratitude to all the wonderful people there who have dedicated their lives to helping kids."

"What a find! After I discovered SHH at the age of 12(thanks to a childhood friend), I spent all of my time there until I left for college. I loved every minute of gym, club, gymnastics, and camp."
