The Pate House has been certified as a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit. It’s entire operational budget is made up from donations from people, churches, professionals, and local businesses that provide our funding to help a wide variety of people. All donations are tax deductible.

We accept donations in the form of:
Project Donations
You can give spiritual donations as well. Spiritual donations are not just “praying”, but include coming out to the home and providing mentoring for these individuals in their life afterwards.
We understand that there are 52 weeks in a year so this is quite a commitment, but if we could get these spiritual support groups to commit to certain weeks it could be done and would be wonderful to watch these individuals progress throughout the year. There is even an idea that in the future that one may choose to “adopt” a young man. In other words- “pick one individual to mentor and work with.”
- Monetary Donations
- Donations of Physical Assets which can be Repaired and Resold (ex; cars, boats and homes)
- Labor Donations
- Physical Labor
- Professional Labor
We need physical donations such as: appliances, furniture, dry goods/food products, paint, beds, use of pressure washer/ladders, are all things that would be wonderful to have during the set-up of this first home. Don’t worry if the items are old or out of style. Coming from prison they will be happy to have their own bed and we can guarantee you any mattress will be better than the thin foam mattress that they had in jail. Just imagine how some of your old towels will feel so comfy and fresh when they get out of the shower. Trust us, if you have ever seen the prison towels you know that they are little more than thin rags so any old towels will be better than what they have had.
