About Us
Blessing House is a children’s crisis care center, caring for children birth through 12, whose parents or caregivers are facing a crisis or emergency or who are experiencing a high level of stress that might put their children at risk of abuse or neglect.
Blessing House is open every day of the year and is staffed with trained employees who care for the children in a safe loving environment. We are licensed to care for up to 10 children at a time. We provide information and assistance to families to help them address their crisis.
Anyone can make a referral or request placement for their children at Blessing House. Placements depend on availability of space and the circumstances of the children and families. Families maintain custody of their children while they are at Blessing House.
For more information, please call us at 440-240-1851.

"We believe that children have a right to be safe in an environment that encourages physical, emotional and spiritual well being. We believe that families in crisis need support, encouragement and connections to positive, helpful resources. Blessing House answers God’s call to meet the needs of children and families in crisis by giving families hope through God’s amazing grace."
Blessing House Community Engagement Plan -
Donating to Blessing House through United Way
Recently, United Way kicked off their annual campaign to raise funds to support community needs. Individuals and businesses will be making commitments during the coming months to support the collaborative efforts of non-profits, schools and agencies in Lorain County that are working together to support goals targeting education, health and the financial stability of low income working families.
As you make your decision to support community programs, please know that you also have the ability to donate to other agencies that are part of collaborative efforts outside of the United Way umbrella. These non-profit agencies also network in the community with each other to work together for the common good of the people we serve addressing issues of homelessness, substance abuse and domestic violence among others.
You can help support these agencies through your United Way donation. When making your contribution or pledge to United Way, you can designate an agency you would like to receive your contribution. This designation can be to any non-profit in Lorain County.
Last year, 159 children whose families needed help because of issues that created emergencies received care at Blessing House. We remain committed to our mission of providing safe care for children and support for families, connecting those who need help with those who can help.
Blessing House is part of a safety net for children at risk, with agencies, counselors, caseworkers and support programs working together to help families address their issues. We encourage you to consider designating Blessing House to receive your United Way contribution when you fill out your pledge card or form this year.
Please feel free to call us with any quesitons you may have.

"Let the Children Come to Me"
And he took them in his arms and blessed them . . .” (Mark 10:14-16)
The tenderness and care Jesus showed for children shows us how much God loves the small, the weak and the vulnerable. Today more than ever we are challenged to protect our children from abuse and the horror of violence that has become so prevalent.
Please join us as we pray for the protection of our children.
Prayer for the Protection of Children and Young People
