Harbor House Ministries

We send out surveys to our staff and guardians. We would like to share their praises anonymously.

Thankful Thursday 💙
Today, we're grateful to share words from one of our guardian surveys:
"Overall, staff and caregivers are polite, friendly, welcoming, and they seem to enjoy working with each other. I think they see the unique, positive traits in each resident, which motivates them even more to help and support each person. Realizing that their work at Harbor House Ministries is the embodiment of Christ-centered devotion to others is very powerful—actions truly speak louder than words."

We are thankful for our dedicated team members who serve with compassion, kindness, and faith every day. Their commitment to seeing and celebrating the unique gifts of each resident reflects the heart of our mission and makes a lasting difference in the lives of those we serve.
Thank you to our incredible staff and caregivers for being the hands and feet of Christ through your daily acts of love and service. 🙏✨

What a beautiful day we had yesterday at our Move-A-Thon!

We were joined by volunteers, residents, family members, and our special guest, CRASH from the Whitecaps. There were high fives, marching, limbo, bubbles, and lots of different equipment to help keep everyone moving around our track.

The Move-A-Thon is one of our fundraisers, and there is still time to donate to our equipment fund. Click here to do so: https://secure.lglforms.com/form_engine/s/JhS0waKCoRLmtoDmtzH9mg

Thankful Thursday: Harbor House Ministries is blessed to have a prayer request box available in every break room for anyone who would like to use them. You can fill out a prayer request card called “ Tipping the prayer bowls of heaven“ - and then they place it in the lock box on the wall. The HHM prayer ministry team is here to walk alongside each and every employee through every season. We want them to know: you are not stuck. God is faithful, he loves you deeply, and he celebrates you! Each week, the prayer team gathers to pray over our campus and lift up the special requests that have been shared. This Thankful Thursday, how can we pray for you?

Summer officially starts now! ☀️🏕️ We turned our backyard into the ultimate campsite with s'mores, kayaking, fishing, co****le, lawn-chair "campfire" chats, and tent time. So many memories made without ever leaving home. What a great way to kick off a season full of fun and adventure! ❤️🔥🌲

Thankful Thursday: today we celebrate the incredible volunteers of Harbor House Ministries. They help make life abundantly lived by giving the greatest gift of all -their time. Whether it’s going on outings, reading a book, doing crafts, decorating the campus, or assisting with special day program events, each volunteer makes a huge impact on the lives of those who call Harbor House home. We are especially grateful for the amazing youth groups that faithfully commit their time and energy to us. You are truly an extension of the Harbor House family, and we appreciate all you do. We also want to recognize the members of our Board of Directors, who generously volunteer their time, expertise, and passion. Their leadership and dedication are the backbone of our success, and we are very fortunate to have them guiding our mission. To every volunteer thank you for sharing your heart, compassion, and service with us. You make a difference every single day. Interested in volunteering with us?

Happy Memorial Day! Thank you to all who have served and continue to serve our country. Wishing everyone a safe and meaningful holiday as we remember.
