Welcome and thank you for taking an interest in NATH/Frederick Place.  My name is Scott Meier.  Years ago, I would listen to Bill Miller preach the homily at church and was informed as to the beginnings of the shelter through those contacts.  As interest grew, I became more and more involved as I learned more of what our shelter provides.  Tammy Modic then asked for me to be on the board and to work with our Community Outreach and Fundraising Committee, which in turn has brought me here as President of NATH.  

 

We depend on our community for support.  Our community provides us with a wonderful staff, starting with our Executive Director and paid Staff to our Volunteers providing daily guidance and support.  Without our staff's determination, talent, and dedication for the vision of giving a hand up to those in need, we have NO house.  I am committed to supporting our staff with resources needed building a healthy rewarding career in helping others achieve their success. 

​

Our success also depends upon our relationships with our sponsors, and contributors.  As we enter year 15, thank you so much for all of you who have supported us in the various ways whether it be through corporate or private donations, attending our events, volunteering of your time and effort, and especially your prayers for our venture.  Our community continues showing us through their support the importance of Frederick Place in providing a hand up through providing resources and structure for those choosing a better path in life.  I hold our relationships with our community as a precious gift, a blessing, and even though I know only a portion of you, I look forward to building our relationships as we make our community stronger and healthier.

 

NATH/Frederick Place relies on our many volunteers, from all over our community.  Crucial to our success, these volunteers provide countless hours of their time and talent without which NATH/Frederick Place would fail to succeed.  It is the cumulative effect of our volunteers, weather helping out on maintenance projects at the house, choosing an event to help staff/support, picking up hours helping staff at the house, putting together baskets for fundraisers, choosing to become a board member, and so many other opportunities to pitch in and help as a team ensuring the survival and success of this worthy organization.  

 

So, as we continue to move through 2025, I want to tell you how grateful I am for your interest in helping others become successful in their journey in life, for sharing in your time, your talent, and your treasures.  Without our strong community support, NATH/Frederick Place would struggle mightily.  To all of our staff, our financial benefactors, our volunteers, thank you for your continued support.

​

God Bless all of you.

Scott Meier

2025 NATH Board President
