GET INVOLVED
Every aspect of an Isaiah 117 House is designed to send a strong message to a child who has just been removed from their home- that they are not alone and that they are loved! From the colors we use, to the furniture we choose, to the items we have available, every aspect is sending a message to that child that they are important, they are seen, that they matter!
This is one of the main reasons we provide new items. Many of these children arrive at the red door of the Isaiah 117 House with nothing. We want to meet their immediate needs “lavishly”. So, we don’t just offer a bath, we offer an Elmo bubble bath with bath toys and a big warm fluffy white towel to dry off with. We don’t just offer a pair of pajamas, we make sure every child receives at least 2 brand new pairs of pajamas. We don’t just offer a teenage boy a pair of shoes, we offer him a new pair of Nikes he’s always wanted. Just as God lavishly loves on us, we believe we are called to lavishly love on others!
