Tabitha House Ministries

Caring For The Needy

Loving our fellow man is the beginning of understanding who we are, and a true blessing from God to allow us to care for others. God teaches us through helping others, what is most important in life. Touching the lives of the needy renews the spirit and the heart. It is an ongoing humbling process and the mainstay for healing the damaged individuals and the families at Tabitha House.
