THE GILMIN HOME PROVIDES A CLEAN AND HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH TO LIVE WHILE LEARNING NEW APPROACHES TO SOLVING PROBLEMS AND ACQUIRING PRACTICAL LIVING SKILLS. THE GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT OF OUR ORGANIZATION HAS BEEN PROVIDING THE BASIC REQUIREMENTS OF LIFE (FOOD, CLOTHING AND SHELTER) FOR TROUBLED INDIVIDUALS IN NEED. IN THE YEAR 2023, NINE PEOPLE WERE SERVED BY GILMIN. FOUR OF THE INDIVIDUALS WE SERVED RECEIVED HOME SCHOOLING AND/OR THE ACADEMIC PREPARATION REQUIRED IN TAKING THE GED TEST. THIS HOME OFFERS CAREER EXPLORATION AND RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES FOR ITS WAYWARD RESIDENTS. THE HOME OPERATES A LAWN MOWING AND LANDSCAPING MINISTRY THROUGH WHICH OUR RESIDENTS HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN THE JOY ASSOCIATED WITH SERVING OTHERS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. THE MOWING MINISTRY PROVIDES LAWN CARE FOR SINGLE MOTHERS, THE ELDERLY AND THOSE LIVING ON LIMITED RESOURCES. GILMIN MOWED APPROXIMATELY FOURTEEN YARDS PER WEEK DURING THE 2023 GROWING SEASON. IN ADDITION, WE PROVIDE THE LABOR REQUIRED IN COMPLETING HOME MAINTENANCE PROJECTS FOR THE ELDERLY AND OTHER NEEDY RESIDENTS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY.

GILMIN DOES NOT RECEIVE COMPENSATION FOR ANY SERVICE PERFORMED WITHIN THE SCOPE OF OUR COMMUNITY OUTREACH SERVICES. ALL RESIDENTS OF THE HOME HAVE DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES WHICH ARE INCORPORATED INTO THE DAILY OPERATIONAL STRUCTURE OF THE FACILITY. SOME OF OUR RESIDENTS HAVE VOLUNTEERED TO ASSIST COMMUNITY BASED SERVICES PROVIDING DRUG AND ALCOHOL ABUSE EDUCATION. HOWEVER, THERE IS AMPLE FREE TIME FOR PRAYER, STUDY AND PERSONAL RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES. IN KEEPING WITH OUR STATED CHARITABLE AND RELIGIOUS PURPOSES, THE GILMIN HOME CONCENTRATES ITS EFFORTS IN ASSISTING AT-RISK YOUNG MEN WHO HAVE LOST THEIR WAY DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND THEIR CONTROL. HOWEVER, WE HAVE OPENED OUR DOORS AND HEARTS WITHOUT REGARD TO NEITHER AGE NOR GENDER WHEN WE LEARN OUR ASSISTANCE IS NEEDED.
