Extravagant Generosity August Mission Focus: HEARTH HEARTH is a non-profit organization that provides supportive services and temporary affordable housing in a suburban setting for women with children who are experiencing homelessness and who are committed to becoming financially stable. The objective is to help women create an achievable plan for success in their training programs, increasing their life skills so they can earn a living wage. HEARTH accepts families with up to four children and insists on women’s participation in educational programs that will lead to employment. Accepted families are housed in their own apartments and manage their own daily tasks. Women meet weekly with the Direct Services Coordinator and as a group for problem solving and support. Through HEARTH women become role models for their children who see that stable lives are a possibility. For more information about HEARTH or for information about what you can do to help homeless women with children, please call (412) 366-9801 x13 or visit hearth-bp.org.

HEARTH is one of the local mission outreach programs supported by Ingomar Church. To learn more about other supported mission outreach programs, please visit ingomarchurch.org 4
