Acceptance of Used Item Donations - temporarily suspended.

We want to thank everyone who has donated items for us to use at Blessing House and to pass on to our children and families. Because of your generosity and thoughtfulness, we have been able to furnish our new home almost completely with donated items. We couldn't have done this without you.

At this time, we are still sorting through items we have collected and have run out of space to store any additional items. We are temporarily suspending the acceptance of all used items (clothing, household items, furniture, etc.) unless specifically requested.

Food donations and paper products are still being accepted with drop off times limited to Monday through Friday - 9AM to 5PM. At this time we are not able to accept drop offs on weekends.

Thank you for your support of our children and families!

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.

Caring for children in Lorain County for over 13 years.

"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."

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.
