Hearten House Gospel Rescue Mission
HOMELESSNESS IS REAL IN DEKALB COUNTY
Families are often torn apart, and the fabric of the community is weakened.
HEARTEN HOUSE IS HOPE
Some women are fleeing domestic abuse; others are pregnant with no support network; many just need a safe place to stay and encouragement as they rebuild their lives.Using proven strategies, Hearten House staff and trained volunteers will walk alongside women who are ready to overcome trauma, addictions, and destructive habits, on their way to self-sufficiency.
Together, we can help women find hope, healing, and the love of Christ.
Your prayers and financial contributions to this ministry are vital.
Please consider supporting the Hearten House in 2021.
