Isaiah 117 House provides a comforting home where children who have been removed from their homes out of concern for their safety can await placement with a foster family. It is a place that is safe with friendly and loving volunteers who provide clean clothes, smiles, toys, and snuggly blankets. This space allows children to receive the comfort and care they need while child welfare staff can do the necessary paperwork and identify a good placement.

Fellowship is excited to partner with Isaiah 117 House to assist in their mission to provide physical and emotional support in a safe and loving home for children awaiting foster care placement.

Every July, Isaiah 117 Houses across the country encourage their community to hold lemonade stands to raise awareness and funds for their location. Since 2017, God has taken a few stands and $7,000 and turned it into over 500 stands per year that raise over $500,000 annually for local Isaiah 117 Houses to help change the way foster care begins.

In addition to caring for children, Isaiah 117 House exists to encourage, support, and lighten the load for case workers and foster families. Through lavishly loving on these children just as Christ lavishly loves us, trauma can be reduced and the light of Christ can shine through during these difficult times.
