Frequently Asked Questions
- What’s up with the generic name for the charity/organization?
- There are two main reasons we chose the organization name. First, similar efforts elsewhere use a variety of names—from children’s names to concepts, i.e., faith, hope, love, and so on. These are great, and we have no problem with that. We started with the intention of having multiple houses as time went on, and we want each house to carry a name that is meaningful to its community. Each will share the organization’s taglines “Love lives here” and “Where love is always home.” The second reason for a more generic name is that we may broaden our mission in the future.
- Is there currently a house in operation?
- We were established as a 501(c)(3) on September 15th, 2023. Since then, we’ve grown from $11,000 to over $26,000 through community donations and our first annual fundraiser in 2024. We’re actively raising funds to purchase a property and cover the first year of operations. Every donation brings us closer to opening our doors.
- What can I do to help?
- We are looking for help to get the word out! Please share our information with everyone you think would be interested. We want our community to be involved in the development and operations of the house. If you have a particular interest in volunteering, please let us know!
- What if I don’t want to volunteer to work with the kids, but I want to do something else?
- There will be so many opportunities for ways to help! Donating money, donating time to support the house operations (cleaning, stocking food, lawn work, etc.), making phone calls, fundraising, decorating, painting, sorting donations, running errands, and the list goes on. Everything, even something seemingly small, will be a tremendous help!
