His House Foundation

His House Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, is based in Shell Knob, Missouri. Founded from a vision in 2000, it became an operational nonprofit nine years later, focusing on serving vulnerable families in rural southwest Missouri[2][3].

Mission and Objectives

The foundation aims to define needs, combine resources, and connect people to create a supportive environment. It envisions itself as a "Campus of Hope" where individuals and families can access essential services and support to overcome challenges such as homelessness, addiction, and poverty[2][3]. His House Foundation believes in empowering families through faith, education, and caregiving, fostering strong, healthy, and loving relationships within the community[2].

Programs and Services

The organization offers several key programs:

• FUEL Academy: A Residential Life Transformation program for at-risk families, providing safe housing, life skills training, employment assistance, mental health care, and spiritual support. This program aims to help families heal and achieve self-sufficiency over a two-year period[2][3].
• Clark Community Mental Health Center: Located on the His House Foundation Campus, offering mental health services.
• Diaper Bank of the Ozarks: A distribution center for diapers, supporting families with young children.
• The Gathering Place: A venue for intimate retreats and community gatherings.
• AL-ANON Meetings: Weekly meetings conducted on-site for individuals and families dealing with addiction issues[2].

Philosophy and Principles

His House Foundation is rooted in Christian faith, striving to apply scripture in daily life and community service. It emphasizes hard work, financial responsibility, and healthy parenting practices, guiding families toward long-term sustainability[2]. The organization also seeks to collaborate with local churches and organizations to maximize its impact without replacing the role of churches[2].
