Isaiah 117 House launches Bartholomew County campaign

Courtesy-Isaiah 117 House

COLUMBUS, Ind. - Isaiah 117 House, a nonprofit dedicated to changing the way foster care begins, is coming to Bartholomew County this Sunday, March 8, at 3 p.m.

A community-wide kickoff event will be held at Foundation For Youth to introduce the awareness campaign for Isaiah 117 House in Bartholomew County and will feature a presentation from Isaiah 117 House officials.   

“This is a great opportunity to learn more about Isaiah 117 House and how to partner with us in making a transformational impact in the lives of children in Bartholomew County,” said Ronda Paulson, Founder and Executive Director of Isaiah 117 House.. “We encourage everyone, whether you are curious about its services or know you want to get involved, you're invited to come and take this exciting next step in this community."   

Anyone interested in supporting, volunteering or partnering with Isaiah 117 House should also plan to attend.

For more information, contact Traci Andresen at BartholomewIN@isaiah117house.com.

Isaiah 117 House provides physical and emotional support in a safe and loving home for children awaiting foster care placement. Currently, when a child is removed in a county without an Isaiah 117 House, the child must wait in the child welfare services office. The child is often dirty, hungry, tired, scared, and unable to bring any personal possessions.    

Isaiah 117 House allows for that same child to never go to an office, but rather a home with loving volunteers to care for them. Isaiah 117 House provides for that child’s needs, whatever they may be, in these critical moments between removal and placement.
