COVID-19 Update and Emergency Needs

ITS HUH Ministry (In the Streets-Hands Up High Ministry) is a family shelter and soup kitchen in Bastrop near Austin, Texas. We give families the ability to live together in an emergency shelter instead of splitting them up during times of hardship. More marriages fail when they are separated during a crisis situation. They are able to save up for themselves. Around 50% of the families move into their own residence after they stay here temporarily.

Rise Up Youth Home
(Youth Transition)
​
There has been a collaboration from ITS HUH Ministry, the youth director of Ascension Catholic church, homeless liaison of BISD, and others that saw a need within the community to create a youth transition home called Rise Up Youth. This will be a safe place for youth that are displaced to continue attending school and getting meals.

WE NEED $14,950 MORE TO REACH OUR GOAL! Any amount helps.​

We are a 501(c)(3) EIN 27-2515162 and all contributions are tax-deductible. ​

2020 Expansion Update

The S.A.F.E. shelter expansion that began in May 2019 is progressing extremely well and we can only thank God for this progress! We are still in need of funds to supply all the needs for the expansion and the new move-ins that come with expanded shelter homes. Thank you for helping us with the new shelter homes.
