Since 1991, Anchor House has been a vital service for homeless families and feeding the hungry.

Through food distribution in our Pantry, we provided 234,441 meals to families last year. 56% of those we serve in the Pantry are children. Through our shelter we house families for 8 weeks while they look for permanent, stable housing in Jackson County. We housed 48 families last year, 87 children among them. We like to partner with other local champions who want to build a support network around these families. Thank you so much for partnering with us to help families and children in our community.
Beloved supports kids in crisis and the people who care for them. We equip foster parents, kinship care providers, and social workers with resources that affirm the dignity and purpose of vulnerable children. By offering a new duffle bag full of essential care items as a replacement for the garbage bags traditionally carried by kids transitioning into foster care, we replace the lie of worthlessness with the truth that every child is precious and unconditionally beloved..
