Charlene House Charlene House is a 6 room facility for housing visiting volunteers. It has 2 beds per room and shared bathrooms. One room is wheelchair accessible. Funds raised by Friends of Sarnelli House have been earmarked to provide a place for volunteers to reside. There are not suitable housing alternatives for volunteers who come to donate their time for projects such as painting buildings. More broadly, in 2024 Sarnelli House began undertaking large maintenance construction project to repair and future-proof some of the children's houses. The boys at St. Patrick's had to move out for six weeks as the roof there needed to be replaced and they recently returned to new bathrooms and freshly painted walls, inside and out. The Sarnelli House boys also got new bathrooms and a paint job and House of Hope had a roof and ceiling replaced. The babies' dorm received new air conditioners and sealed doors and windows for the hot season, and there are now air purifiers in place to counter the hazardous seasonal pollution. Kitchens were remodeled. Some of this work will continue into 2025 and 2026.
