“For I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in.”

— Matthew 25:35

 

Location.

On March 1, 2021, after years of praying and deliberating over the best location for a maternity home, we took possession of a corner lot located at 687 Tupper St N in Portage La Prairie. We are excited to build Hopes Journey Home in a community with resources and other supports, transportation options, and easy access to health care.

 

Building plans.

Our initial building plans include 5 bedrooms, each with their own bathroom, a shared kitchen, library/sitting room, rec room, laundry room, and an apartment on the top level for the house parents.

PHASE ONE

Our initial phase addresses the framework of the home and began May 2023. We are so thankful to have all the basement materials and labor donated thanks to Keystone Concrete, R-Jay Construction Inc, Homewood Colony, Towle Construction Ltd, Wayne Friesen Construction Ltd, and Grunthal Lumber. Thanks to Southman Design Group for the amazing plans and the City of Portage la Prairie for approving the variances.

Our projected cost for this phase is $350,000.

Sponsorship program.

We know that we cannot do this alone. We invite individuals or businesses who are interested to become a part of our scholarship program. All those enrolled will be acknowledged on a plaque in the finished home to commemorate their generosity and support.
