Sheridan House provides Answers for Today’s Family

As you and your family take time at the end of the year to express thanks for the blessings received, please consider the ministries of Sheridan House.

RESIDENTIAL CHILDREN’S HOMES

Our residential children’s homes are filled with middle-school aged boys and girls with behavioral and emotional issues. Combined with our parenting education program, we are dedicated to helping the whole family become healthy, functional, and strong.

“We have friends who put their son in Sheridan House, and he has completely changed. That’s why we want our son to be in the program. Our family needs help, and we believe Sheridan House can provide that help.”

Andrew and Sandra

SINGLE MOMS’ MINISTRY • Grocery Assistance • Clothing Assistance • Back-to-School Assistance • Financial Support • Single Mom’s Training Classes • Thanksgiving Blessings • Christmas Toy Shoppe

COUNSELING CENTERS

Each year over 4,000 single moms and their kids receive assistance and training from Sheridan House.

Through partnerships with local churches, our outreach to single parent families is two-fold. We offer single parents a helping hand in their time of need, encourage them to get involved in their community, and, ultimately, help others with what they have learned.

“I just needed a little help getting into my apartment. My kids will never forget the help God gave us through Sheridan House. We prayed and asked God for help and He sent Sheridan House.”

Alina (One of over 4,000 single moms and children helped this year by Sheridan House)

Over 4,000 people every year come to Sheridan House for counseling Our counseling center provides professional services by licensed mental health counselors to couples, families, children, and individuals who are seeking real answers for real issues.

“I don’t know what would have happened to our family or to our marriage if we hadn’t been able to find affordable, professional, Christian counseling. Thank you, thank you, and thank you!”

Ed and Mindi (Just one family of the thousands helped this year in one of our two counseling centers)
