How You Can Help
Welcome to Bethany Haven!
Bethany Haven is the parent organization for three programs which serve the homeless in Bardstown, Nelson County, Kentucky. Christy’s Place is our transitional shelter for homeless women (with or without children), Harbour House Inn is our transitional shelter for men, and Room in the Inn is our emergency overnight shelter for men, women and children.
At Bethany Haven, we give people the opportunity to get back on their feet; if someone is worried about where they will sleep for the night or what they will eat for the day, they are unable to look past those immediate needs. We provide food and shelter, so our residents are able to look beyond the immediate and begin to consider how they might work for a better future for themselves and their families.
Christy’s Place
Christy’s Place has 6 private bedrooms, 3 shared bathrooms, a shared kitchen, a shared living room and playroom and a resource center.
Harbour House Inn
Harbour House Inn has 3 shared bedrooms, along with 2 shared bathrooms, a shared kitchen and dining room, a shared living room and a resource center.
Room in the Inn
Emergency overnight shelter for men, women and children. Our guests spend the night at one of the faithful churches.
