Ways We Help
The Focus of Our Efforts
Open Door's main focus this year to have a location for a warming station and other extreme weather for White and Habersham counties. We would like to have a place for the homeless to find warmth in the winter, a place that is cool on hot summer days, and a safe shelter for tornado weather. Our goal is to work with these individuals on employability skills, while giving them a place to shower and get free clothing for the work place. We would also assist in contacting other agencies to give these individuals and families a home and ways to become self-sufficient.
​
Other goals include assistance for low income families to receive shoes, school supplies, and a Christmas Outreach.
We want to show the love of Jesus to each person we come in contact with and give them a Hope for the future.
