Isabel's House

Step inside Isabel's House and take a look at our kitchen! 🦋

Our commercial grade kitchen is the heart of every breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack time for the children in our care. Fully equipped and thoughtfully organized, it allows our team to provide fresh, nutritious meals every single day.

Behind every dish is careful planning. We create weekly meal plans designed to ensure children receive balanced, well-rounded nutrition while they're with us.

Most importantly, every meal is made with love. Whether it's a warm breakfast before school, an after-school snack, or dinner after a long day of learning and play, each meal brings comfort, stability, and a reminder that we care. 💙

A full stomach can make a world of difference, and we're grateful to everyone who helps make these meals possible. 💙🦋

You do not have the wait for something bad to happen before asking for help. 💙

Our mission is focused on prevention. Families can reach out during times of overwhelming stress, housing instability, medical emergencies, or any other crises that makes caring for their child more difficult.

By providing children with a safe, nurturing place to stay, and helping parents and caregivers connect with resources and plan their next steps, we can support families before a difficult situation becomes unsafe.

Asking for help early is not a sign of failure. It is a step toward protecting your children and strengthening your family.

To learn more or ask about support, call our 24/7 crisis line: 417-865-2273.

Art has always held a special place at Isabel's House. 🎨

From the colorful murals painted by community partners to the meaningful art tiles created by donors and children around the time our doors first opened, creativity has always been a part of our home. Today, the children staying with us continue that story through the artwork they create each day. It fills our walls and hearts with imagination and joy. 🦋

Together, these pieces remind us that Isabel's House is more than a building. It is a home shaped by the love, creativity, and hope of our entire community. 💙

This , we want to bring attention to some important items that are needed at the house!

🪮Hairbrushes, Combs, and Hair Ties: We have all kinds of heads of hair around Isabel's House, and it's so important that we can properly keep that hair brushed, clean and healthy!

🩳 Boys underwear size 10/12: We send every child that stays at Isabel's House home with fresh changes of clothing, so we are always making sure our shelves stay full!

Help a child begin the school year feeling prepared, confident, and cared for. 📚

Isabel’s House is collecting new school supplies for the children and families we serve. Our most-needed items include backpacks, pencils, pens, paper, markers, notebooks, folders, pencil pouches, erasers, and colored pencils.

Every item helps make the first day of school a little brighter.

After fleeing a domestic violence situation, a mother and her three children were searching for safety, stability, and a way forward.

Isabel's House provided temporary care for two of the children while connecting the mother and her older daughter with a safe place to stay at a local women's shelter. During this time, the family also received support while awaiting a housing voucher and securing childcare assistance.

Because her children had a safe and loving place to stay, this mother had the time, support and attention she needed to begin rebuilding their lives. Stories like this remind us exactly what we are here for. 💜
