Genesis Home

*Almost everyone you know has an ongoing list of necessities they need to run their household and do necessary repairs.But what if your house had 14 adults and 23 children????  Genesis Home does! Our staff purchases the necessary equipment to keep our house running smoothly and our repairs up to date. Please consider donating a gift card from Wal-Mart or Lowes Home Improvement and you know that your gift will go directly to our most urgent needs.
