“Home of Hope” at Gwinnett Children’s Shelter, was born out of necessity along with the support of many helping hands in our community and beyond. We are a nonprofit, 501c3 Corporation and a residential care facility which provides services for homeless children from 0-17 years of age along with their young mothers. We also provide care and services for homeless girls aging out of the foster care system at 18 years of age. We provide customized “Life Plans” that are designed around the physical, emotional and educational needs of our kids, while helping Mom create a plan of action to get back on her feet. Our goal is not simply to be a place of refuge, we are a next step toward independence. We take our guests from homeless, to hopeful, to a home of their own. All our great work happens with community support. We have no government funding and you can help. There are many ways to lend a helping hand from volunteering, fundraising, corporate support, food donations and general donations. To make a safe, on line donation, visit our website at the link below. Please reach out at any time to schedule a tour/talk with our Executive Director, Maureen Kornowa. Thank you to all of our friends that have been so generous with support. It takes a village, and we have a great village!
