by A local nonprofit is preparing to take a major step forward in its mission to serve abuse survivors in Northeast Georgia. On Thursday, June 26, F.A.I.T.H. (Fight Abuse in the Home), will host a groundbreaking ceremony for its new Power House and Healing Barn—two vital additions designed to expand care for survivors of child abuse, sexual assault, and human trafficking.
The event will take place from 5 to 7 p.m. at the future site of the expanded campus, located at
390 Rockford Cove Road
in Mt. Airy. Guests will hear remarks from local leaders, preview architectural plans, and enjoy light refreshments as F.A.I.T.H. outlines its vision for the future.
Safe haven
Since opening its doors in 2002, F.A.I.T.H.’s Power House Child Advocacy and Sexual Assault Center in Toccoa has provided a safe haven for children and adults in crisis. The center serves the Mountain Judicial Circuit—covering Rabun, Habersham, Stephens, and now Banks County—offering forensic interviews and medical exams, trauma-informed therapy, advocacy, and emergency assistance.
By breaking ground on these new facilities, F.A.I.T.H. is laying the foundation for a stronger, safer community. The Power House and Healing Barn will enhance the organization’s capacity to provide comprehensive, under-one-roof services for those who have experienced physical or sexual violence.
“This groundbreaking marks a pivotal step in the growth of F.A.I.T.H.’s mission to bring hope, healing, and justice to those who need it most,” said F.A.I.T.H.’s Executive Director, Caroline Wallis.
Community members, supporters, and stakeholders are invited to attend the June 26 ceremony and take part in building a brighter path forward for survivors across the region.
