Proverbs 31:20 Ministries was founded in June 2000 by two women who wanted to serve according to our namesake scripture: “She extends her hand to the poor, she opens her arms to those in need.”

We began by supplying the immediate needs of homeless women and families in King and Snohomish counties. In summer of 2005, similar ministry work started in Mississippi through the service of local volunteers, and we are now in the process of formally opening for business in Jacksonville.

But changing lives requires more than providing basic necessities. And solutions for individuals do not come in one-size-fits-all programs. Proverbs 31:20 Ministries serves women and children with a personal touch - by forming relationships that give Biblical encouragement, and by training women in important life skills such as budgeting, parenting, and managing a household.

Our Partners

We are grateful for the generous in-kind donations of Pottery Barn. Their linens, towels, and other household goods help us to prepare shelter rooms with excellence for new residents. The items also go out to women who are moving on to transitional housing, or who have lost such items in a crisis.

Furthermore, we could not minister as we do without the wonderful support of many individuals, families, and church partners, especially Canyon Hills Community Church and Antioch Bible Church , who faithfully give their prayers, time, and money to help our efforts.
