We are committed to serving the individual, the family and the community as a whole, but not limited to churches, agencies and community organizations.
We are committed to be an added resource to the organizations that exist and become an added value to new and beginning efforts to eradicate homelessness, hunger and poverty for the constituents of the city of Elgin and surrounding areas.
We are committed to being the hands and feet of Jesus Christ by being there for our fellow man in his time of need by offering a holistic approach to their physical, economical and spiritual needs.
House
of Restoration is a vital, faith-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that is
dedicated to serving and providing the resources to individuals and families
that are experiencing hardship and loss, while also acting as a hub-agency to
our community.
Individual
empowerment, self-determination, and accountability are strong components of House
of Restoration. Our board consists of
extraordinary, passionate and like-minded individuals committed to serving our
community. Additionally, our board of directors is comprised of a professional
group of talented individuals who are dedicated to committing their time and
resources to provide the highest quality programs and services. Our diverse
volunteers have ties to the community, and thus possess the unique ability to
connect with our target demographic.
During the winter months, House of Restoration
runs an emergency homeless shelter at First United Methodist Church in Elgin,
when temperatures drop below 15 degrees. We welcome anyone in need of shelter
to stay during these cold nights. We also provide them with a warm meal,
beverages, and blankets during their stay. After they leave, we try to ensure
that each individual has the clothing necessary to stay warm when our shelter
is not open
