We have all been thrilled to see Front Porch Housing take shape over the past six months at its primary location on Cleveland Street. But did you know that Front Porch Housing also exists in other houses and apartments across the Upstate?

Our Spartanburg campus has helped with the development of three new three-bedroom homes in Spartanburg County, and they are almost ready for residents! In December, they hosted a donation day when campus members brought furniture and other household items. And there is also a group of members ready to assist the incoming residents with moving, transportation, providing baked goods for birthdays, and simply creating a supportive community.

Hopefully, these homes will be ready for residents in early February! If you would like to learn more about Front Porch Housing and how you can get involved, click below.

We are committed to serving orphans and vulnerable children in our community. One way our Spartanburg campus has embraced this mission is through a collaboration with other community partners to refurbish Spartanburg County’s DSS visitation rooms. Our local DSS staff work tirelessly to serve children in foster care and their families, and we were excited to be able to support their efforts through this project. These visitation rooms are used for children in foster care to visit with their biological families, and our goal was to make them warm, clean, and welcoming spaces.

Volunteers from our Spartanburg campus worked to remove old furniture, paint, and move in new rugs and furniture. They also provided toys and other items to make the rooms welcoming—one of our members even painted original artwork with a unique theme for each room! The funds for three of the rooms were donated by community partners, and the Spartanburg campus provided funds for the fourth room.

What a blessing to be able to show Jesus’ love in a tangible way! There are lots of opportunities to serve through our Foster & Adopt ministry. If you are interested in getting involved, click below to learn more.
