About the Pink House
From a ‘baptism’ The P.I.N.K. H.O.U.S.E. (People Innovating New Kinships thru Helping Others Uplift Services and Education) was born – the year was 1997. Rev. King and her husband began the Herculean task of renovating a dilapidated building in the neighborhood. When funds and faith ran low, she only had to remember those kids who faced almost insurmountable odds against success.
The Pink House opened its doors officially in January 1999. The program has proven itself by an overwhelming success record. Popular with its students and volunteers – standardized school tests are measurably higher among the Pink House students. Several are now college graduates or attendees giving back to the community.
The Pink House has helped to transform lives as it provides a safe, enjoyable, fun after-school learning environment during the school year. The need for this facility cannot be over-stated as a haven from the hustle and struggle of the streets, providing hope and purpose to the community.
