Patsy's Place Transitional Home

What is "Patsy's Place?"

Patsy's Place is a Christ-centered transitional home in Amarillo, Texas. The volunteers and staff nurture and mentor women as they struggle to cope with the overwhelming obstacles they face almost immediately upon release from county jail or prison.

OUR GOAL for Patsy's Place is to provide a structured home environment which will become the standard for faith-based programs. Patsy's Place is a safe haven where God's truth and grace allow formerly incarcerated women to grow and develop as they endeavor to become contributing members of the community, bearing witness that no life is beyond the reach of God's transforming power.

Can your church host a drive for much needed items for Patsy's Place? Perhaps you have a small group willing to help?
​Here are some of the guidelines for donated items:

​Sharing Hope Ministry and Patsy’s Place are blessed to receive donated items for use and for women as they graduate from Patsy’s Place.  Following is a guideline of items that can be used.

• Furniture and household items for Patsy’s Place graduates to set up a home.  Dressers, beds, night stands, living room furniture.  Small kitchen appliances, dishes, silverware, kitchen utensils, pots/pans. 
• Lotions, makeup, shampoos, conditioners, feminine hygiene products, toothpaste, deodorant, hairbrushes, combs, and soaps/body washes.  Due to health and safety concerns only new, unopened items can be used.
• All paper goods for both kitchen and bathroom.
• Laundry detergent for HE machines.
• Household cleaning supplies.
• Underwear and socks.
• Cars – These provide Patsy’s Place residents an affordable vehicle as they transition into the working world.  Donors get a tax deduction in the amount of the vehicle’s value.

Any decorations, knick-knacks, or pictures can be taken to the Downtown Women’s Center. 
Travel size lotions, shampoos, etc. can also be donated to The Salvation Army or Faith City Mission.  These items are given to the homeless.
