Women's Shelter
Thanks to the generosity of community members answering God’s call to care for women experiencing homelessness in Geauga County, GFRM is honored to share that our mission of opening an emergency women’s shelter has become a reality. We have officially purchased a location for the women’s shelter and are now preparing for house restorations. The improvements include creating additional bedrooms, updating insulation and piping, installing new plumbing, and building a second story to provide complete guest services. We are deeply grateful to the many volunteers and organizations for their financial support and services to make this emergency shelter possible. As we move forward, GFRM seeks additional volunteers, skilled tradespeople, and sponsors to help with the shelter upgrades.

God always provides.
We are excited to continue on this journey. We are humbled to soon open our doors to women struggling with homelessness. And as we take this next step, we invite you to prayerfully consider:
