🏡 Understanding Isaiah 117 House
Need: When children are removed from their homes out of concern for their safety, they are usually brought to a child welfare services office to await placement.
Condition: This wait can be a few hours to several days. These children often have nothing with them and are scared, lonely, hungry, and in dirty clothing.
Support Offered: Isaiah 117 provides a comforting home where these children instead can be brought to wait – a place that is safe with friendly and loving volunteers.
Services: Volunteers provide clean clothes, smiles, toys, and snuggly blankets to comfort the children.
💖 Mission of Isaiah 117 House

Support Services: Lighten the load for child welfare services.
Transition Ease: Ease the transition for foster families.
