We are grateful for our volunteers who help us run our events, cook in the kitchen, and raise awareness about domestic violence. And let's be honest - they're a lot of fun too!

Cookin' with Lynne

We published a cookbook! This labour of love came about after hearing so many clients request recipes from their time at Jessie's House. Cookin' with Lynne includes some of our favourite recipes. Your purchase will support our Nutrition Program and ensure that every client who leaves Jessie's House and Eileen's Place gets their own copy!
