What do you do at the Hoving Home?
Our program is geared to rebuilding the lives of women in an atmosphere of warmth, trust, support and love. We teach them a new way to live with a biblical foundation. They deal with the issues in their lives such as anger, bitterness, low self-esteem that has caused them to live destructive lifestyles. Another component is the Career Readiness program where we help them establish a healthy work ethic and prepare them for the employment.

How is the Hoving Home financed?
Donations are received from many sources – including individuals, churches, corporations, and foundations. Each year we hold special events such as a Walkathon, Phonathon, Banquet, Fashion Show, Golf Tournament, etc. Also we request a $1500 entrance fee. The cost of helping a Lady is approximately $2900 a month and we ask the lady to contribute is she or her family is able. Each lady is assessed individually and we work with those who are unable to pay. No one is ever denied help if it determined that they have no means to contribute.
