Isaiah 117 House — Davidson County, Tn

Our Purpose

When children are removed from their homes out of concern for their safety, they are usually brought to a child welfare services office to await placement. This wait can be a few hours to several days. These children often have nothing with them and are scared, lonely, hungry, and in dirty clothing.

Isaiah 117 provides a comforting home where these children instead can be brought to wait – a place that is safe with friendly and loving volunteers who provide clean clothes, smiles, toys, and snuggly blankets. This space allows children to receive the comfort and care they need while child welfare staff can do the necessary paperwork and identify a good placement.

The mission of Isaiah 117 House is threefold:

* reduce trauma for children awaiting placement
* lighten the load for child welfare services
* ease the transition for foster families

With your help, we will be able to do these things and so much more: stock our giving room with new clothes, provide duffle bags for children to carry their belongings in, provide car seats to foster families in need, stock the DCS pantry, and lavishly love on children awaiting foster care placement, DCS workers, and volunteers, etc.

Thank you for saying YES to helping change the way foster care beings in Davidson County.
