HOW IT STARTED
Freedom House officially opened in February 2008 with four charitable groups located in the building: Love, INC, In As Much Ministry, Hillcrest Ministries, and Rebuilding Together Clay County. Only through the enormous generosity of individuals, businesses, community groups and professional donors, as well as countless hours of donated time, talent, and in-kind contributions, was Freedom House envisioned, built, and completely paid for over a six-year period.
