It starts with one step.
Families come to Bethany House from many different paths, life experiences and circumstances.

No matter the twists and turns life has thrown at them, they come to Bethany House seeking the same thing, a place to find rest and restoration. That’s what we provide: care and comfort, community and support, encouragement and inspiration, each leading them one step closer to a home of their own.

Our Vision:

To live in a community where all families have a place to call home, and no one spends a night without shelter.

Help out our families: Come and serve dinner

Are you looking for a fun and meaningful way to volunteer and give back? Call some friends and plan a dinner for the women and children at Bethany House. You can make a big difference by bringing dinner for 35-40 people (moms and their kids). You can even bring your kids and show them how to make a difference in the lives of homeless families. After dinner, you can stay and play with the kids while the moms attend their skills classes. If you’d like to learn more, contact Lisa at lsiegel@bhsinc.org – Thank you!
