Blessing House Rock-a-Bye Ball 2019

Blessing House is a children's crisis care center, caring for children birth through 12, whose parents or caregivers are facing a crisis or emergency or who are experiencing a high level of stress that might put their children at risk of abuse or neglect.

Blessing House is open every day of the year and is staffed with trained employees who care for the children in a safe loving environment. We have cared for almost 1,500 children since we opened in 2005.

Blessing House is an independent faith-based non profit organization.
