Help Build Hope Benefitting Isaiah 117 House of Rutherford County

Isaiah 117 House of Rutherford County is excited to partner with Help Build Hope in an upcoming building event! On Saturday, February 5th at the Lane Agri-Park Community Center from 8AM until 1PM these two nonprofits will be joining forces along with the community to build the framing walls for the physical Isaiah 117 House. This is an event for the whole community with ages 5 and up and all abilities welcome! Professional builders with Help Build Hope will guide participants to properly build the walls for the home. If you can swing a hammer then you can help build! This home will help change the way foster care begins in Rutherford County.

The purpose of Isaiah 117 House is to provide physical and emotional support in a safe and loving home for children awaiting foster care placement. When children are removed from their homes out of concern for their welfare, they are usually brought to the Department of Children’s Services Offices to await placement with a foster family. This wait can be several hours to nearly a full day. These children often have nothing with them and are scared, lonely, hungry, and in dirty clothing. Isaiah 117 House 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 DCS staff can do the necessary paperwork and identify a good foster placement.
