  • Her Haven of Light encourages the participation of volunteers who support our mission. Our mission is to provide women in unforeseen circumstances a safe place to land with the resources they need to get back on their feet. Her Haven is a Resource Center that serves the women of Johnston County. It's a safe place for women to land to get the resources and directions they need to flourish. We assist without enabling through extending our hands in love and offering a hand up to help them form a plan of action and find hope again. We provide a healthy, loving and sincere place of refuge to help bring restoration and peace to those in need. This resource center is here to empower women to walk in confidence as they thrive in their today and find freedom in tomorrow.
