Hallowed Ground Counseling

09/11/2026

Today, we remember the lives lost, the families forever changed, and the courage shown by so many in the days that followed.

May we never forget the importance of compassion, community, and caring for one another. And may we continue to hold close those who carry the weight of loss, grief, and trauma.

“The Lord is near to the brokenhearted.” — Psalm 34:18

Today, we remember. We pray. We care.

As Hallowed Ground Counseling, a nonprofit Christian counseling center, continues to grow and expand our ability to serve our community, we still have several counselor rooms that need to be furnished.

Donations will help us purchase things such as:

🪑 Comfortable chairs
🖥️ Small desks
📚 Bookshelves
🕰️ Clocks
💡 Lamps & lighting
🖼️ Wall art & décor
🧶 Area rugs
🌿 Other furnishings and décor

As a nonprofit counseling center, we rely on the generosity of our community to help us create these spaces and continue expanding our services. Your donation isn't just helping us furnish a room; it's helping create a safe and welcoming space where someone can begin their journey toward healing. ❤️ Thank you for supporting Hallowed Ground Counseling and the people we have the privilege of serving. 💙
