How do I contact the Office and explain the situation of emergency? Can some please let me know who should I correspond with or talk to? Looking forward to hearing back.

I came to make a donation on behalf of my employer. They do such an incredible job helping folks who are experiencing homelessness while resting small children. I wish there were more places like this. Thank you to all the staff who give their best every day to those who need it the most!

A comprehensive shelter for families with children that focuses on self improvement. Great program that changes lives and teaches valuable life skills including healthy boundaries/relationships, budgeting and parenting skills. It is heavily Christian and like any other program, internal politics and favoritism can get in the way of the program's effectiveness.

I have volunteered here for many years. I serve as a receptionist, Golf to give committee & sell books on Amazon that are donated to MFH. This place is totally fantastic, they take homeless families and help them find a Job and their own place to live. They do this with an astonishing 75% success rate. Most important if all they don't take any government money.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

What is my father's house? Do I have to be out in the morning with nowhere to take my 4 year old?

Jesse blaine Knauff | Aug 17, 2019

My fathers house is a family shelter but not an emergency shelter. Meaning, it could take anywhere from a day to a couple of months to be accepted. They have really good programs however, they are not for everyone. You might want to contact 211 you have a baby...there are places that should take you immediately if its just you two. Everyone's experience varies. Some good some bad. There are those who are there as employees who are compassionate and want to see you leave successful. The experience as a resident would be entirely different from the experience of an employee. There was alot of favoritism, however the concern is for the needs of you and your child to be met in being housed. Prayer changes things. I pray for the best for you and your family.

My Father's House is a family transitional housing program for homeless families with at least one child under 18. It is not a youth shelter.

I have a bag of nice kids clothes and shoes for 3-24 month babys and some 4-5 year old boy stuff. I would like to give them to a shelter, do you accept donations?

Unfortunately my fathers house only helps family's with children.

We are homeless and can't afford a motel and we have to be out of where we were staying tomorrow.

Amy Hale | Aug 17, 2018
REGINA BAKER | Aug 17, 2018

Every situation is different, therefore, the staff's response will be accordingly. I would encourage you to call the intake line and leave your information for a call back. Everyone who is accepted has had a different response time. Tho they are not an emergency shelter, there have been families that has moved in their day of intake. Pray, God will guide your situation.
