HEART OF A MAN INC

Hoam workhoam work is a program designed in partnership with the church to mobilize men to serve widows and the widow-like in our community. Men, under strict supervision and leadership, utilize their skills in fixing, building, and repairing to improve the homes of the vulnerable individuals in our community. Tasks completed are generally those that a man in the home would complete; we fill in the gaps where men are absent. We completed 16 projects in 2022, equating to 360+ man hours of service to the community. Expenses stated are those owned by hoam. Another larger component was owned by college park church.grant written to ruth anne lefeber, a member of college park church with severe medical conditions confining here to a wheelchair.

Heart groupsgroups designed to teach men the langauge of emotions, learn to express the experiences of our past for the sake of healing, growth, and moving forward past childhood and adult relational wounds. These groups are designed to build lasting, reliable friendships. We currently have roughly 36 men in these groups, usually consisting of 6-8 men per group with 2 leaders each. They meet for 3-4 hours at a time and do so twice a month, once formally and once informally. We are building leadership training material now to grow this effort.
