We serve the southwest Twin Cities metro area and surrounding small towns. Click below to learn more. Enkrateia House of Hope’s (EHOH) mission is:

1. Provide a compassionate, caring and faith-centered home for homeless expectant women during their pregnancy and mothers after the birth of their children .

2. Assist women in crisis pregnancy situations in learning skills that foster self-sufficie

ncy and provide a vision of hope for their future.

3. Improve long-term outcomes of crisis pregnancies by providing women with resources to address their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs, promoting healthy lifestyles during their pregnancy and after the birth of their children. EHOH wants each guest to know that her past does not define her. Her dignity, uniqueness, and value come from the Father, her Creator! Life is a journey and let us walk together!

We'll be joining Gather and Grow Food Shelf & Connection Center tonight in Waconia City Square Park for National Night Out! Come find our table and say hi, from 5-7!

Tomorrow night, we're heading to City Square Park for Waconia's National Night Out. From 5 to 7 pm, come enjoy food truck bites, a pop up splash pad, yard games, and a chance to meet local first responders. We'll be there too, so stop by and say hello, and even come with a food donation!

This is one of our favorite nights of summer because it's simply neighbors spending time with neighbors. Bring the family, bring a friend, and we'll see you at the park.

Thank you, Waconia Living Magazine! If anyone is interested in volunteering in any capacity, please reach out to us!

As the old saying goes, “Many hands make light work.” Enkrateia House of Hope is constantly looking for dedicated volunteers to step up and commit. This is especially helpful the week leading up to the due date and the week following the delivery. Finding someone who is willing to stay with the mom following delivery to give respite or even guidance is huge. It’s not all baby holding either, as they can always use a hand with outside yard work and gardening. Volunteers use an app called Homebase, where they can see shifts that need to be filled, and when they stop by the house they can check their individual calendars, so volunteers can see where rides are needed. They are fortunate to have a layout that has on a separate floor a bedroom where a volunteer can sleep and stay. Most of the moms that utilize the home have zero support system, so the volunteers are all they have. For more information and to inquire about other donations, please reach out on their website.

Contributions Needed:
Diapers
Wipes
