Our Vision:

We are a community where mothers discover a life of acceptance, value, and meaning for themselves and their children.

Our Core Values:

• Individual Worth: because honoring persons made in the image of God recognizes their unique story and history.

• Courageous Obedience: because following God's leading in the small things enables us to accomplish greater things.

• Personal Integrity: because modeling authenticity and transparency leads to long-term trust in relationships.

• Healthy Relationships: because cultivating a family environment invites all to find a place within community.

• Foundational Unity: because serving humbly is the framework for fruitfulness.

• Generous Partnership: because giving generously multiplies God's blessing and abundance.

More than a shelter, more than a home, Ruth Harbor is also a program:

• Staff members come along side each resident to design a Care Plan tailored specifically to reach personal goals of growth, independence, safety, and life skills.

• With the support and direction of a staff counselor and live-in house parents, residents live together as a family, learning to care for both their home and one another.

• While at Ruth Harbor women receive counseling, education support, life-skills training, access to quality health care, spiritual guidance, parenting training and/or adoption assistance at no charge

• Our focus is on being a home, not an institution, where up to six residents live modeling a family lifestyle.

• The emphasis is on grace and independent living rather than any circumstances that brought our residents here.

• Additional support is often provided through mentors, host homes, and partner agencies.
