After closing in April of 2011 a determined group of board members remained committed to seeing a re-opening of this program.  Now the re-opening is approaching!  January 2nd, 2012 is the projected date for accepting homeless families into this network of churches providing accommodations and meals for families experiencing the loss of their living space.

New board members have been recruited and trained for their role in making this organization a thriving and vital part of East Bell County.  Churches are being recruited to serve as hosts to families for one week four times per year.   If you are interested in seeing your church help us, please give us a call.

One of our needs prior to opening is a vehicle (15 passenger van) for transporting families daily from the Day Center to the host church.  Please pray that God will lead us to the place where this need will be met.

More information about our goals, needs, and opportunities for volunteers to make a difference for families in need will come soon.
