Overview

Mission

The mission of the henry hosea house is to provide food and nourishment for the bodies and souls of the men, women, and children of the northern Kentucky/cincinnati area. We are a cooperative ecumenical nonprofit agency made up of dedicated individuals coming together to strengthen the relationship between church and community. Its programs and services in light of the gospels echo the call of jesus to reach out to those less fortunate than ourselves.

What it reported doing in 2025

Free daily hot meal program - our primary focus is to provide a nutritious meal to those in need. In 2025, we served over 35,200 meals! And while hunger is certainly an issue with the poor and homeless, a further cause of suffering, we believe, comes from the three plagues of loneliness, helplessness, and boredom. We do our best to combat these by treating each-and-every person entering henry hosea house as if they were dining in a fine restaurant, meeting with friends, and building community.
