Holy Week & Easter

EASTER SPECIAL OFFERING

Council has chosen Welcome House to be our special offering this Easter. Welcome House is a family homeless shelter in Bismarck that provides safe, temporary housing for families with children experiencing homelessness. You can write a check with the memo, “Welcome House” or “Easter Special Offering.” Thank you for your generosity.

Welcome House is a family homeless shelter located in Bismarck that serves families with children who are experiencing homelessness or housing instability. Our shelter provides a safe, supportive environment where parents and children can regroup, heal, and begin rebuilding their lives. With space to house up to six families at a time, we focus on keeping families together while addressing the barriers that led to their housing crisis. At the heart of our work is the Pathway to Stability program, a structured 12-week program that helps families move toward permanent housing and self-sufficiency. Through individualized case management, families receive support with budgeting, credit repair, employment readiness, housing searches, and connections to vital community resources. We believe that stability is built through both practical tools and compassionate support. Beyond housing, Welcome House works to restore dignity and hope. Children benefit from a stable environment that supports school attendance and emotional well-being, while parents gain the skills and confidence needed to maintain long-term housing. Each family’s journey is unique, but the goal remains the same: a safe home and a renewed sense of possibility. We are deeply grateful to Trinity Lutheran for walking alongside us in this mission. Your prayers, generosity, and community partnership help ensure that families in crisis are met with compassion, support, and a clear path forward. Together, we are helping families move from homelessness to hope and stability.
