The Haven House program is unique not only to the Western Slope but throughout Colorado.  Since opening its doors, over 10 years ago, we have been able to offer housing to families with children who are in crisis and would otherwise be homeless.  Haven House is a non-profit organization and is possible only through the support of generous Donors, Supporters and Grants through Private Foundations.  We would like to take a moment to thank and recognize those who have really made a difference in giving this year.  We wish we could list everyone who has donated – from the acts of kindness through volunteerism, to those who donate in-kind and provide a resource for our Yard Sales, to those who contribute monthly or yearly.  Indeed, it takes a Village and we could not do what we do without each and every one of you.  This giving year we would particularly like to recognize the following Foundations and Individuals/Organizations who have funded Haven through grants and contributions:

  • Alpine Bank
  • Altrusa International – Montrose
  • A.V. Hunter
  • Bacon Family Foundation
  • Bank of the West
  • Buell Foundation
  • Dr. Borgo Family
  • Bright Futures
  • Burggraaf Family

We had a very successful, fun and productive Poker Run last Saturday. The turn out of more than 45 bike riders for the Poker Run was more than we ever expected. Thank you to every single person that participated in the Poker Run, bought a Raffle Ticket, joined us for the BBQ and some people off the street that came by and made a donation. The families at Haven House put on an excellent party and the food was good and plentiful. It would have been hard work for anyone to say they did not have a great day!

Our 50/50 Cash Raffle Winners

1st Raffle Drawing Winner of $500 – Ricky Redden

2nd Raffle Drawing Winner of $500 – Gwen and Able Lee

3rd Raffle Drawing Winner of $100 – Lowell Marcus

 

Poker Hand Winner

1st Place with Three Jacks – $200 credit at Motorcycle Accessories for any item that will be autographed by Willie G. Davidson.

 

We talked to many riders who offered suggestions on how we can improve our ride next  year, so plan now to be part of the 2018 Home Run Poker Run for homeless families.

 

This is one of the children living at Haven House who has taken advantage of the guitar lessons provided for free to the families. After two months, he is doing great! Our Child Development Programs are just part of the many programs we offer to help families return to a home of their own.

Your support is always appreciated.

Despite very cold temperatures and windy conditions our “Drive to End Homelessness” was a great success raising $13,000.

If you missed attending the May 6th Open House Birthday Celebration, you missed a wonderful event. The Participants living at Haven House worked very hard and put on a beautiful and delicious dinner.  The children diligently served the dinner, taking your order for salad dressing, regular or gluten free pasta, vegetarian or meat sauce and your drink choice. What a treat it was! Desert allowed another choice of chocolate or spice cake and the kids were on it to get your order right.

The many guests that were able to attend were inspired by the brave women who told their stories of how life brought them to Haven House. Guests came away with a new point of view regarding our programs that restore families to independent living. This night allowed them to understand just how important their support is to Haven House.

Please take a minute to revisit that evening through the photos and videos we have posted. Then consider making a reoccurring monthly donation of any amount to keep the success stories happening. God Bless you and thank you for your interest.

Click here to read  Marline’s testimonial-2.2016 

Marline graduated the Haven House program on February 12, 2016. Her graduation party included well wishers and happy faces of her children and friends. As she acknowledges in her testimonial letter, this is a culmination of hard work with big rewards and she has put in the work to set the goals to make the future even better.

A heartwarming story that shows the Haven House program is an All-Inclusive answer to many of the elements that result in the homeless condition. We don’t plan on letting anyone stay in that condition who has the desire to transition back to a rewarding, self-supporting life. With help from the community of participants living at Haven House and the loving supportive and instructive staff and volunteers, no one has the reason to say “it can’t happen for me”. CONGRATULATIONS MARLINE AND FAMILY.

Christmas Greetings from
Haven House Transitional Living Center
for people transitioning from homeless to a home of their own.
HAVEN HOUSE FAMILIES, VOLUNTEERS AND STAFF
WISH YOU ALL A BLESSED CHRISTMAS!
MAY THE JOY OF THE SEASON GROW WITHIN YOUR HEART
THROUGHOUT THE NEW YEAR!
What if Jesus had been born in a shed behind a gas station in Olathe? Would it have made the news? “Poor homeless woman gives birth to baby in a shed behind the gas station.” First to arrive would be the city police to see if EMS was needed. Then a reporter and photographer from the Daily Press would arrive to document the sad conditions. Next Social Services would come to assess the situation and try to take the baby away from the obviously unfit parents.
           And she brought forth her first born son and wrapped him up in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger: because there was no room for them in the inn. ~ Luke 2:7
What an event that would have been! Everyone would have had an opinion, a judgment, a criticism of these terrible unfit parents. Baby Jesus came in the back door of the world, unnoticed except by a very few. He was not acknowledged in any way but by the poor shepherds and the odd kings from distant lands who knew in their hearts that something marvelous had occurred. What a surprising, unexpected event that would have been.
And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger. ~ Luke 2:16
God the Father wanted it to happen in exactly that way. He planned this event long ago and it was foretold in the Old Testament. The prophets had also foretold that a vulnerable child king would bring Good News to the whole world.
Jesus came for us all – just as we are right now; to make a difference as he did and continues to do through us today. He came to meet our every need and to bring salvation.
It is all up to us what we do with this Good News isn’t it?
Haven House is a faith based non-profit group serving the needs of the homeless families in Delta, Montrose, Ouray and San Miguel counties. We feed the physical, mental and spiritual needs and help return families to self-sustaining living. We accomplish this with God’s grace and your kind generosity.
Since opening our doors in April 2011 we have provided
over 40,000 shelter nights to families.
Your FINANCIAL SUPPORT is needed to help us continue this ministry, as the need and families residing at Haven House has increased. This year, consider blessing the hearts of a homeless family at the same time you enjoy the blessing of your home and all of your family within it.
