What is Harvest House?

Harvest House is a ministry for foster children & families on Guam that provides for their physical needs, spiritual encouragement, and emotional support by:

  • Recruiting safe foster families and respite care providers
  • Training foster families with trauma-treatment parenting curriculum and hosting special guest speakers
  • Retaining foster families by providing for their needs as they care for each foster child and hosting annual events that benefit the foster community

Harvest House also acts as an Emergency Triage Center to children in crisis entering the foster care system.

Our Impact

We provide physical, social, mental, and spiritual support to foster children and families. We clothe, feed, and connect children in need to foster care parents who we recruit, train, and retain.

In 2022 Harvest House opened our doors to:

  • 157 children through our emergency triage center
  • 345 families or shelters through shopping visits
  • 60 potential foster families
  • 46 families going through the reunification or adoption process

Meet the Harvest House Team!

We are committed to working TOGETHER as we serve each foster child with dignity, value, and love as we point them to the Savior Jesus Christ.

Meet Bethany Taylor, our Founder/Executive Director! She loves communicating the why behind what we do everyday and reminding us of the beginning while being hopeful of the new things God will do in and through us at Harvest House in the future.

Meet Eva Ito, our Executive Assistant and the newest addition to the Harvest House staff! She has come to us with an enthusiastic spirit to personally invest her life into foster children and their families. She has all the adequate skills to mentor young people from creative art work, babysitting, and a listening ear while our families shop.

Meet Joanna Javellana, our Resource Center Coordinator! She manages our operational tasks and leads in planning our annual events for all the foster children on Guam. She has a sweet island spirit that easily connects with our community whether it’s donors, volunteers, or a needy baby wanting to be held or fed.
