HOW IT STARTED : our STORY
character building activities, daily devotional, and a nutritious meal.
In January 2018, Gabriel’s House began a partnership with Fair Baptist Church and Empire Public Schools. This partnership allows Gabriel’s House to provide programming to Pre-K through 5th-grade students within the Empire Public Schools.

To address these issues, Gabriel’s House moved once again in June 2015. Our program now operates out of one central location allowing us to serve all five elementary schools in the Duncan Public Schools system. Each day students are transported to Gabriel’s House via DPS school buses. Programming consists of a snack, homework assistance,
