Our Vision
To Make homelessness a temporary phase in the lives of families who are touched by this organization.

 



Our Mission

To provide temporary shelter, food, and support services for local homeless families in a caring atmosphere, by bringing together faith communities, volunteers, and social service agencies.


The Need

  • Families with young children now account for up to forty percent of America's homeless.

  • Families are the fastest growing segment of homeless.

  • There are an estimated 3500 people in the Upstate of South Carolina who are homeless.

  • Spartanburg has less than half the beds needed to accommodate the number homeless families.

  • Many existing local shelters' sleeping quarters are separated by gender. SPIHN guests are kept together as a family, in their own separate rooms.
