2023 Ruth Harbor Banquet Report
More than 500 members of the Ruth Harbor Family gathered in Des Moines on November 2 for the annual Ruth Harbor Fundraising Banquet.
The highlight of the evening was hearing the stories of life transformation and God’s work in the lives of young moms who have been a part of Ruth Harbor this past year.
We were blessed to have Gov. Kim Reynolds with us for the evening and share from her heart her desire to help young families, especially mothers who choose life for their child, but need help.
Ruth Harbor executive director, Chris Eller, provided a ministry update on the work of Ruth Harbor and the progress made over the past year in developing and strengthening partner relationships to better serve moms while they are in our homes and after they graduate from Ruth Harbor.
Thank You!
The Annual Banquet provides a significant portion of the funding needed to serve and care for the mothers and children God sends to us each year. To date, the Ruth Harbor Family has given more than $206,000 to further the mission God has given us to bless mothers who choose life for their child, but have little family or community support.
If you were not able to attend the banquet and would still like to have your contribution included in our banquet total, you may give online today.
