Who We Are
Growing Home began as the Adams County Interfaith Hospitality Network in 1998, a community based shelter for families with children, relying on partnerships with 30 local congregations, a hospital and a local university to shelter families. As the cost of living rose and family homelessness and hunger grew, Growing Home focused on responding to the needs of struggling families in the community. Over the past six years, Growing Home has added homeless prevention services, children’s programming, parenting support, a food bank and affordable housing. In 2007 we reached more than 4,000 households, over 12,000 individuals. |
