Celebrating 15 Years!
In September 2006, My Father's House opened to doors to our Transitional Housing Shelter and accepted our first residents. Some of our first residents had been homeless for some time and didn't want to leave the area due to local connections or resources. They eagerly awaited our opening and the opportunity to have a roof over their heads, regular meals and access to supportive services. Fifteen years later, the faces have changed but the needs have not.
We are so thankful to our donors for supporting us so that we can continue to serve the homeless in our community. Thank you for your partnership!
