Loving our neighbors:
refugees and
language learners,
children in need,
struggling families
Friendship House Roanoke is committed to working alongside local Christian churches to serve our neighbors with the grace, mercy, and transforming message of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Talitha Koum Program
The Talitha Koum Program serves approximately 20 elementary and middle school students each year. This holistic after-school ministry seeks to nurture children spiritually, emotionally, physically, and academically.
Seasonal Programs
The Friendship House doesn’t just meet during the school year! We have summer activities for participants in our Talitha Koum Program. These include a reading partnership with the library, field trips (swimming, hiking and fishing, etc.), soccer club, and weekly open house times where the kids can come play and hang out in a safe place for the afternoon.
