Isaiah 117 House provides physical and emotional support in a safe and loving home for children awaiting foster care placement.
When children are removed from their homes out of the concern for their welfare, they are usually brought to the Department of Children's Services Offices to await placement with a safe family- relative, kinship, or foster. This wait can be several hours to nearly a full day. These children often have nothing with them and are scared, lonely, hungry, and often in dirty clothing.
Isaiah 117 wants to provide a comforting home where these children instead can be brought to wait-a place that is safe with friendly and loving volunteers who provide them clean clothes, smiles, toys, and snuggly blankets. This space will allow children to receive the comfort and care they need while DCS staff are able to complete the necessary paperwork and identify a good placement.
Kids at Calvary is hosting a lemonade stand on Sunday, July 14 as part of the city-wide lemonade stand challenge to benefit our missions partner, Isaiah 117 House. As people arrive at church, they can get a refreshing cup of lemonade and choose to donate cash or online to the ministry of Isaiah 117 House.
Families with preschool & elementary age kids are invited to sign up for a shift of running the lemonade stand. All supplies will be provided.
NOTE: Only parents will sign up and then list their kids and ages in the questions section of the signup. You don't need to register each child.
