August 8, 2021 Announcement: Julie's House Now Closed

The thrift store will now be our primary ministry and donations will still be tax deductible.  Information on this new ministry is pending.  THANK YOU - Pat Bourke

Announcement: Julie's House Closing 

​It is with much sadness that I announce that the Board of Directors of Julie’s House and I feel that the time has come to close our shelter for homeless women and their children.  

I say a heartfelt “thank you” to my Board of Directors and other faithful supporters. You have made it possible for us to exist for fifteen years and offer refuge and support to hundreds of women and their children.   

We will remain a nonprofit organization and continue to operate our thrift store – Making Ends Meet Bargain Center.  Our mission will be to give donated clothes, household items, and other necessities to needy families and other nonprofit organizations.   We will continue to sell items to the public to defray our expenses.  We ask you to support us by shopping at our store and sharing our Facebook posts.

Our facility is at capacity at this time but as soon as the clients are relocated our property will be for sale.  

Please pray for me as I make this transition.

Sincerely,

Pat Bourke

One of our Julie's House clients needs a vehicle.  If you have one that you would like to donate, call Pat Bourke 706-836.2781.  Transportation is essential for independence.  Fair market value of the donation is tax deductible.
