Home Repairs Ministries, Inc.

You never know what's behind those four walls. The single mom next door who always has a smile on her face might be facing eviction. Or that older widow in your church might be struggling to safely get around her home due to a broken floorboard. No matter the situation, we want to help. Give today to fuel our mission of repairing homes and hearts: homerepairs.charityproud.org/donate.

There are always opportunities to help! Looking for somewhere to volunteer this holiday season? Home Repairs Ministries would love to hear from you – no building or repair experience needed! Visit homerepairs.org/volunteer to learn more.

"Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world." James 1:27

We're here to serve, no matter the job! From floor to roof and even the yard, Home Repairs Ministries exists to serve at-risk homeowners throughout metro Atlanta. Find out more about our mission at homerepairs.org/about-us.

The holiday season is in full swing, and while it's a joyful time for many, it can be a stressful time for those struggling to get by. Help us reach out in love and meet needs this December and beyond! www.homerepairs.charityproud.org/donate

Follow-up Friday

Last week we were out at Sheila’s house, replacing her old front ramp with a new stable one and replacing her door with a brand new one, too. Her grandson Huey has medical problems and is wheelchair-bound, so having a safe ramp exit from their home is essential. Thank you to the volunteers who helped our project manager Clarence with this drizzly wet day project!

During his theatre days, Clarence Atsma – Home Repairs' project manager – enjoyed building sets. Now he gets to repair houses for homeowners in need who are struggling to get by. And while it's good work, he says he never feels as though what he does is "giving back". Instead, he sees it as breaking a cycle – one of difficulty and pain and replacing it with hope.
