Ricko HouseAbout Us
Rooted in the tradition of the pay it forward movement inspired by the vision and passion. At, Ricko House we provide temporary housing and support services for the homeless community in Georgia. Working with other local agencies, staff members, and volunteers provide people in need with a safe environment and the means to re-establish their independence. All guests are welcomed with no discrimination. The Ricko House keeps the homeless community in mind, creating a haven and a community for everyone. Our Values When you pour into someone great things happen - we believe that the Ricko house is a place of belonging to the homeless, done in the spirit of the paying it forward. Personalism - we believe that each person is unique in their needs, their talents, and their abilities. We are called to respect each strength, weaknesses, and challenges. Hospitality - we believe it is important to create a welcoming, inclusive atmosphere for ourselves, our volunteers, our donors, and those we serve. Trust in providence – we believe that if we “plant these seeds and water them,” that will cause them to grow. It’s all about people taking care of people – we believe that growth occurs in all of us when we care for each other. Forward progress – we believe that everyone is responsible for their own progress toward stable housing and solid employment. Personal accountability – we believe that each person is accountable for their own actions. We are a home – we believe that the Ricko House is a real home for those to whom we serve. |
