Good Works

Our Mission

Good Works, Inc. (Athens, Ohio)  exists to connect people from all walks of life with people in poverty so that the kingdom of God can be experienced. The Good Works Community seeks to develop new and innovative ways to love our neighbors by meeting the needs of the rural homeless, widows, at-risk children and families struggling with poverty in rural Appalachia, Ohio. We do this through direct service and by creating avenues for volunteer service. Good Works, Inc seeks to provide a COMMUNITY OF HOPE for those struggling with poverty in rural Appalachia. We provide biblical hospitality through The Timothy House (our shelter for the rural homeless), The Hannah House (our long term residential care-community), job experience programs, creative volunteer service opportunities and community development ministries in the context of Christian Community. Half of our mission is to "do it". The other half is to provide opportunities for others to serve with us. In 2011, more than 1100 volunteers served with Good Works.
