HOME Homeless of McMinnville Effort

08/18/2026

Today is National Nonprofit Day—a day to recognize the organizations, staff members, board members, volunteers, donors, and community partners who give so much, each and every day, for the betterment of others.

Here in Warren County, organizations like McMinnville Special Games, Meals on Wheels, Families in Crisis - New Beginnings, Serve M25, Caring Hearts United, HOME, Young Men United, My Father’s Closet, Habitat for Humanity, Helping Hands, Child Advocacy Center, Kids of the Community and many, many more work every day to make life better for others.

They feed our neighbors, support our seniors, shelter those experiencing homelessness, meet the needs of people with disabilities, strengthen families, support children, and so much more. They are there to serve during some of the hardest, most uncertain, and loneliest moments in the lives of people throughout our community.

Nonprofits do more than provide services. They help rebuild broken lives, restore dignity, and respond to unmet needs in ways that hospitals, law enforcement, emergency services, and other taxpayer-supported systems cannot.

They are being the hands and feet of Jesus.

You cannot place a dollar value on a meal delivered with kindness to the hungry and lonely, a safe place during a crisis, a child who finally feels included or safe, a family given hope, or a person who realizes someone still cares. Compassion, love, dignity, encouragement, and hope are not line items on financial statements, and their value to a community is beyond calculation.

The work is not always easy, and it is most certainly NOT for the faint of heart.

Today, we tip our hats to every local nonprofit and every person who helps keep its mission moving forward.

So, again, hats off to you. We appreciate you, and our Warren County is stronger because of you. ❤️

Today, we pause to remember and honor the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

Their sacrifice will never be forgotten.

From all of us at HOME, we wish everyone a safe and meaningful Memorial Day.

Homelessness does not have a cookie-cutter situation, and many times it is not what we expect.

Sometimes it looks like an elderly woman on a fixed income living in her van.

Sometimes it looks like a senior citizen who has just lost her husband, sitting at the hospital with nowhere to go.

Sometimes it looks like an elderly woman holding an eviction notice and not knowing what comes next.

Sometimes it looks like a young man leaving incarceration and trying to rebuild his life without a stable or sober environment to return to.

Sometimes it looks like a man with special needs living in a metal shed with no electricity.

Sometimes it looks like the man living in a tent -just trying to survive another night.

And these “sometimes” are only a 'portion' of the stories we are currently serving — right here in Warren County.

At HOME, we meet people in all stages of life and crisis. Behind every situation is a human being with a story, not just a statistic. ❤️

We cannot let this weekend close without expressing our sincere gratitude to Maverick Morgan, Matthew 28:19, and a host of others that made Friday's golf tournament such a great success.

We were humbled to watch Mavericks servant's heart in action as he choreographed numerous sponsors and teams for an afternoon that appeared seamless.

We also want to thank Matt and Kendice Prater and St Thomas Ascension for the donation of toiletries.

A special thanks to Linda Paris and the Warren County high School Culinary Class. The food was amazing!

Also special thanks to Tiffany Morgan, Sheriff, Jackie Matheny Jr. First Baptist Church, American Solutions for Business, Little Sprouts Learning Ctr, Sugs Sandbox, every golf team, and every volunteer.

You all made it such a sweet day for and our hearts are full of appreciation. Maverick, we know that God has big plans for your life and we will be watching and there to support you on your next mission!

A big THANK YOU to the Life Group from Experience Church for the facelift to The Haven, our women and childrens shelter and transitional living home. The women loved the new paint! We also want to extend our thanks to Sherwin Williams for their donation of paint!
If your church or organization is in need of a project, there's lots of opportunity here as the entire house is in need of a fresh coat!
