ABOUT US

Hannah House is a residential facility for pregnant and troubled teens/young women from ages 12 to 29. Hannah House is an interdenominational Christian home in the State of Arkansas. Hannah House opened September 8, 1997, after many years of planning and preparation. We are recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) organization. We were incorporated by the State of Arkansas on July 27, 1993. Hannah House is governed by a board of trustees .


Funding for Hannah House comes from individuals, corporations, churches, and civic groups in our community. We have written program grants to help with specific areas. Hannah House has been funded in the past by the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation, Whirlpool Foundation, The City of Fort Smith, and the Rosalie Tillies Foundation.

Our purpose is to offer these young women a place of refuge in a warm, home-like atmosphere where we can help them work on the issues in their lives that brought them to Hannah House. We want to help them heal and become productive, caring individuals who are able to care for their babies, or to help them in making a decision to place their baby for adoption.


We invite you to take a few minutes and look around our site, whether you are a young girl in need of help , a parent of a troubled teen, or you want to help us by offering a financial gift or by volunteering .

 

Mission Statement

Our goal is to provide help to pregnant and troubled young women whose needs are not being met in their present situation. The program will offer a Christian alternative to abortion by providing food, shelter, education, and assistance in obtaining medical care for the young woman during her pregnancy. Opportunities for counseling and Christian guidance in making a permanent plan after the birth are also available.
