Charis House Project

Plans are underway for the construction and relocation of a new Charis House. The new Charis House building will enable staff to expand their outreach into the community. The new and improved Charis House will house more women and children and enable more space to facilitate and environment more conducive to learning and promoting growth and encouragement among women.

The new building will have 78 beds (compared to the current housing capacity of 42 beds). Charis House will increase their housing capacity by 36 beds, almost double of what they can currently provide! The new building will be approximately 24,000 square feet. With updated facilities and more space, Charis House can move forward and strengthen their outreach in the community. However, Charis House cannot move forward alone. They need support and donations from people just like you.

Charis House fully operates on grants and private donations. Unfortunately, Charis House does not receive government funding of any kind, including local, state, or federal. Charis House does receive United Way funding and regularly applies for grants. It is private donations and funding from the local community, and people like you that keep Charis House doors open to serve the needs of our community.

Since we accept no tax dollars, your donations are what keep us going here at Fort Wayne Rescue Mission Ministries. 84% of our funding support comes from individuals like you. Your gifts to us are tax-deductible as allowed by law.

Through our online donation system you can give a one-time gift using your credit card or PayPal account or set up monthly donations. All online donations are safe and secure.

You can also send your donations by check (made out to "Charis House Building Fund").
