As winter comes, The Gift House could use your help. The amount of women that will come through our program in the colder months will skyrocket. On top of that? Our bills go up this time of year — heat, groceries, gas — just as with everything else.
So, we’re looking for a few " Women's Winter Monthly Mission" partners who believe in what we’re doing: helping women in recovery build new lives through faith and structure.
Even the smallest amount a month makes a real difference.
Would you be willing to commit?
If you’d like to help or are interested in hearing more, please reach out. We'd love to set up a time to come talk and share about what God is doing in our little corner of Breckinridge County.

The Gift House is a nonprofit recovery program and has been operational since 2018, providing safe, faith-based housing and structured support for women rebuilding their lives. One of our greatest strengths is the leadership of our former senior residents, many of whom have graduated our program and now serve on our Board of Directors. Their lived experience and long-term commitment help ensure that our mission remains authentic, effective, and deeply aligned with the needs of the women we serve.
