The Haven of Portage County is a rescue mission and warming center in Portage County that addresses each stage of homelessness and provides holistic healing through the power of the gospel. Renovations on our building on SR 59 between Kent and Ravenna have begun and we hope to open our doors this fall. Our vision is that The Haven of Portage County is a place where the vulnerable can find not only a meal and a bed, but also hope and long-term healing. www.portagehaven.org
