When children are removed from their homes out of the concern for their welfare, they are usually brought to the Department of Child Services Offices to await placement with a foster family.

This wait can be several hours to nearly a full day. These children often have nothing with them and are scared, lonely, hungry, and often in dirty clothing.

The Isaiah 117 House Vanderburgh County wants to provide a comforting home where these children instead can be brought to wait-a place that is safe with friendly and loving volunteers who provide them clean clothes, smiles, toys, and snuggly blankets.

They made a huge step toward their goal – They have officially closed on a house in Vanderburgh County! The Bosse Title Company even covered the closing costs!

In October, The Isaiah 117 House received 10,000 from the 100+ Women Who Care Evansville group.
