Child Advocacy
Agape
House is intentional in being advocates for the children of those incarcerated.
We recognize the value of regular physical and emotional contact with parents.
Access to parents will be made easier with the affordable accommodations we can provide.
So often, visits
to the correctional centers produce stress in caregivers and thus to the children in their care. Long hours of travel to and
from the prison can now be broken up with a restful stay in our facility.
Bedtime
is made a bit easier with our comfortable guest rooms, children’s books
and bibles to read as the children and caregivers drift off to sleep.
Meals can
be prepared, heated and eaten in our homelike kitchen. On Saturday evenings our manager, Linda Lehenbauer, provides homecooked
meals at no extra charge for our guests. Meals bring everyone together; the guests say it is like being at "grandma's house".
