Our Programs

There is a story that continues to be written every day, and an invitation for those to return to who they were meant to be. That story is continued by every person who finds refuge through emergency housing, every guest who receives a meal, shower or kind word; and every child that is met by someone who will see them

A NOTE FROM OUR CO-FOUNDER

A Home for the Rebuilders

For the last 25 years, I have served marginalized communities — drawn to the gold within the people I've met; and have served alongside my husband and co-founder for the last 12. I wouldn’t trade the life God has given us for all the riches in the world, because what we get to collect is what is most precious to the Father…people. Life’s greatest treasure. After starting a small after-school center in the heart of Oak Park — called the House of Acts, we watched a faithful God quickly grow our small vision into a ministry that now serves over 300 families weekly. Thank you for being a part of our mission, to create spaces of connection so that sons and daughters can remember who they truly are,  and rebuild their communities.

REFUGE HOUSING

Cultivating Spaces for Connection

We have an excellent program, amazing staff, and incredible partners in this work, but none of that is what has made the change. We are factors that have created space for these women to do the unthinkable – they have been given the space to change their mind about themselves. An individual whose mind is renewed and set in truth is an individual who not only changes their own life, but they change the trajectory of their children and those they encounter along the way. They become, not a better version of themselves or someone new, they uncover who they were always created to be. The debris of life, trauma, abuse, disempowerment, and victimization is removed, and they find themselves in the full permission to return to the powerful individual they are, restored to themselves and their purpose, and given the ability to be a rebuilder of hope and wonder.
