Ruth Harbor in Need of Host Homes

Ruth Harbor alumni are headed various directions once they have given birth - college, their own apartment, returning to their parent's home, other social service programs, etc. Some alumni are in need of additional support for a few weeks or months that is being provided by "Host Homes."

With an introduction and input from Ruth Harbor, local families are extending true hospitality as a Host Home for some Ruth Harbor alumni who are not yet able to be 'out there' on their own yet.

Host Homes provide a stable Christian household to nurture the young woman as she begins a new chapter in her life - whether she has chosen to parent or place for adoption.

As a guest in a Host Home, young women have the opportunity to see examples of healthy relationships and observe the practical results and daily impact of faith in Christ. The experience a young woman has in a Host Home is often a critical piece in her success as she matures, learns and continues to prepare for her future.

Do you have an extra bedroom or area to share with one of our alumni? Ruth Harbor is currently seeking new families with interest in being a Host Home, as well as being on a contact list for future possibilities.

Take a moment and ask God if being a Host Home is a way He would have you use your home to serve others. To express your interest or to receive additional details, please contact Executive Director Mark McDougal at markmcdougal@ruthharbor.org.
