Mission Statement
Our mission is to provide temporary housing and living essentials to those in need, in a safe environment that fosters a sense of self-worth, promotes self-sufficiency and strives for independent living.
“…for, what-so-ever you did for one of mine, you did for me. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat; I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink; I was a stranger and you invited me in…” -Jesus

Our Sisters' House
|
Our Sisters’ House is located at 328 E Washington Ave. in Tomahawk, Wisconsin. This location was originally home to the nuns of St. Mary’s Catholic Church. St. Mary's has leased the house to T.R.U.T.H. (Three Rivers United Temporary Housing) to be used as a homeless shelter named “Our Sisters’ House” in their honor.
Our doors first opened in October 2015. We blessed 40+ individuals in our first year. Those in need have the opportunity to stay up to 3 months in our shelter if they work towards their self-sufficiency goals such as; attaining employment, finding permanent housing and furthering their education. No one under the influence of drugs or alcohol are allowed in Our Sisters' House. We also do not allow felons or sex offenders into our shelter. We are always looking for help with fundraising, house volunteers, and monetary donations to help us continue providing immediate temporary housing to individuals and families in need. |

For some families and individuals in Lincoln County and the surrounding area, being without a place to call home is a reality. In our first year, we provided hope to 50+ men, women, and children. We provide more than just shelter; we provide WARMTH; a warm bed, warm shower, warm meals and warm hearts. |
