THE GILMIN HOME PROVIDES A CLEAN AND HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH TO LIVE WHILE LEARNING NEW APPROACHES TO SOLVING PROBLEMS AND ACQUIRING PRACTICAL LIVING SKILLS. THE GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT OF OUR ORGANIZATION HAS BEEN PROVIDING THE BASIC REQUIREMENTS OF LIFE (FOOD, CLOTHING AND SHELTER) FOR TROUBLED INDIVIDUALS IN NEED. IN THE YEAR 2021, TEN PEOPLE WERE SERVED BY GILMIN. ONE OF THE INDIVIDUALS WE SERVED RECEIVED HOME SCHOOLING AND/OR THE ACADEMIC PREPARATION REQUIRED IN TAKING THE GED TEST. THIS HOME OFFERS CAREER EXPLORATION AND RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES FOR ITS WAYWARD RESIDENTS.
