Book Trust

The work of Book Trust revolves around a single, sad fact: There are thousands of children in America who would like nothing better than to read, but have no books.

By 2011, sixteen congregations had been recruited that were willing to host up to four families that were experiencing homelessness for a week at a time, from 5 pm to 7 am the following day on a rotating basis, with Angel House providing screening, day time shelter and case management.

FHN operates in cooperation with the Sister Mary Alice Murphy Center for Hope, nine local congrations committed to providing onsite housing and eight congregations committed to supporting those host sites.
