Our Story
Since 1967, Hoving Home has offered women struggling with addiction and life-controlling challenges hope, healing, and a new beginning through Jesus Christ. Our loving, Christ-centered community helps women rebuild their lives and discover their God-given purpose.
Our story began with John and Elsie Benton, affectionately known as “Mom and Dad B.” While serving alongside David Wilkerson at Teen Challenge, they reached out to women on the streets of New York City. They envisioned a home where women could step away from destructive circumstances and begin again.
That vision became a reality in Garrison, New York, with the support of Walter Hoving and the Jones Foundation. Named in Mr. Hoving’s honor, the Home welcomed its first twelve women and began a ministry that has since touched thousands of lives.
In 2016, Beth Greco became CEO/President, continuing the Bentons’ legacy of faith and compassionate service. Today, Hoving Home remains committed to helping women and their children find freedom, build a strong foundation, and move toward a hopeful future.
Every woman matters. Every story counts. One life at a time.
