Bashor Home, in Goshen, Indiana, has been has been ministering to needy and deserving children since 1923. The home is dedicated to helping boys and girls rebuild shattered lives in the name of Jesus Christ. The Bashor Home site consists of dormitories, a cafeteria/meeting place and a school. St Andrew has supported Bashor Home through direct gifts as well as volunteers in mission on site, who have performed a variety of needed tasks, including painting and general maintenance. Locally, we have helped the school by organizing a “backpack” drive to provide needed supplies to on site school children.
