The Chapman Partnership houses homeless families with children, who are actively seeking employment, for up to 90 days. Children (of all ages) in the facility attend public school during their stay and participate in after-school activities in the Chapman Partnership resource center. The Little Lighthouse Foundation brings its Story Hour to the resource center, to entertain and educate the children with group reading and arts & crafts activities.

Volunteers will spend the first portion of the hour-long program reading to the children and encouraging children to read aloud to the group. Reading is followed by an arts & crafts project that varies each week. Children keep the craft projects they create and volunteers are encouraged to create their own projects as well. Volunteers for Story Hour should arrive at 6:15 pm, and are dismissed at 7:30 pm.
