House Blend Ministries is looking to the future after 10 years. The house they have lived and operated in for the past seven years is going up for sale.

Rachel Twigg Boyce is the Executive Director of House Blend Ministries and has been with it since the beginning. The ministry is now celebrating their tenth anniversary amidst some major changes.

"[The mandate was to] do something to help the people who are poor," Boyce said. "Now our mission is to create caring community."

Boyce says they do that in three key ways. First, House Blend Ministries provides housing to those who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. Second, they connect with the broader community. And third, they want to educate people about homelessness and what is happening inside their city.

There will be changes in the future, however. As part of the ten-year celebration, House Blend looked back on the first ten years and realized the house they are in is both too big and too expensive to operate this ministry. They are putting the house up for sale and the money they get from it will affect what they do in the future.

One of things House Blend will continue to do during this period is a weekly potluck, which will be held at All Saints Anglican when the house is closed. "Every week, everyone is more than welcome to show up."

House Blend Ministries will continue to operate without a house, but Boyce said they will be looking at more accommodations soon. She said their are multiple regulars at their weekly potlucks and that the ministry is much deeper than just housing.

"This is more than just about a house, we care about each other as a community,"
