 Evonne’s Sharing House was founded in 2017 when several local congregations committed their faith, heart, resources and hands to one simple mission: \"To love our neighbors as ourselves.\" Congregations and individuals and businesses who work together to alleviate suffering in our county. Evonne’s Sharing House is a source of compassion and crisis assistance for our low-income neighbors in Boone and Hamilton County, where we offer food and fresh produce, gently-used clothes, rent and utility assistance, household goods, camping equipment, hot showers, a safe place to share stories of struggle... and a refuge of social interaction. We also empower people who seek paths to self-reliance, through special programs. Evonne’s Sharing House Ministry seeks to make real the incarnation love of God to all who come through our doors, whether as someone seeking assistance or a volunteer. Being in ministry with one another, where everyone experiences an abundance of grace, brings about a mutuality of relationship. We all become vulnerable. No one is left at arms length. We discover we all have something to give. We all have deep needs for a better life. We all have power and a sense of belonging.

When the door opens, there is a buzz of welcoming words. Minds and hearts come together to solve problems. Resources of food, clothes and money are shared when there are identified needs. We work together to teach and encourage one another about the struggles our community faces in helping everyone to thrive.

 Volunteers are God’s blessings to Evonne’s Sharing House. We count on different life skills every person has to offer.

 One of the key factors of our Ministry is not to judge. We are all human and we make mistakes. That said, we praise women who come to us for their courage and concern for the life that is entrusted to their care. An unplanned pregnancy often comes with problems however. Teenagers may be thrown out of their home, or pressured to have an abortion. We will find her a safe haven so she can care for herself and her baby without the worry of day to day expenses. We will work with the schools so her education will not be interrupted. Private tutors are available if needed. Nutritionists will meet with the mother making sure she and her child are both healthy. If the mother wants someone to adopt her child, we will help with those arrangements. Often times an unplanned pregnancy happens to a mother who already has children. The same help is available for them and their existing children.
