Best Practices for
Improving Indicators
Offer community-based programs to teach parents about resources available for completing their education, earning a General Equivalency Diploma (GED), and learning technical skills necessary to succeed in the workforce.

Stable Families
Low-income and single-parent families face extraordinary challenges in providing the basic necessities of life for their children. These challenges include lack of education, unemployment, and limited access to work supports that can help move low-income families toward independence.

Join our $10 a Month Campaign

It’s easy! Join our $10 a month campaign to support Faith’s House, a non-profit corporation created to empower single moms through higher education.

As we continue to work toward our mission of becoming a place for single moms with limited life choices to live while pursuing their educational dreams, we need your support. Specifically, we would like to increase donations through our online $10 a month campaign. This campaign was inspired by the notion that consistent effort, regardless of how modest the effort, can make a big difference. If 100 people are giving $10 per month that's a total of $1,000 a month toward securing space to house our monthly meetings, to develop our resource center, and leverage future donations to purchase land and a house -- Faiths House!

When you sign up you will be entered to win a $50 gift certificate toward Amway rewards items donated by Tim and Donna Hopkins, local Amyway independent Representatives. We will pick a $50 winner every month! Winners will be posted on our website and announced on our Facebook Page!

Of course, all monies donated will be used to further the mission of Faith’s House and you will receive a tax-deductable statement from justgive.org! We will also be happy to furnish you with financial statements at any time, as we are financially responsible and want our donors to be secure in the knowledge that we are good stewards of all donations.

If you decide this is something you can fit in your monthly budget it only takes 5 minutes to sign up on our website with justgive.org or you can mail your monthly donation, made payable to Faith's House, Inc. at:
