Guidelines

We understand that most budgets do not allow for some brand names requested. We assure everyone that the residents will appreciate what ever it is that they receive this holiday season.

There are a few guidelines that the residents must follow when it comes to clothing, music, etc.:

Clothing:

Tank tops are not allowed unless the straps are two finger widths.
Advertisement of mainstream non-Christian bands are not allowed on clothing.
Black dress pants, shoes and blouses are allowed, but we discourage black jeans and t-shirts.
Skirts and shorts must be to the knee.
Clothing with holes are not allowed.
Clothing that displays skulls, alcohol, drugs or other inappropriate slogans are not permitted.

Make-up:

Young ladies in the home must be 13 years of age to use make-up of any kind.

Music & Movies:

Music CDs must be of the Christian variety.

Age up to 13 are allowed "G" and "PG" movies

Ages 13 and above are allowed "PG" & PG-13" movies.

"R" or "NR-17" are not permitted.

Movies become community property until the resident who received it is discharged. At this time the resident may take the movie with her.
All movies are handled by staff only until the resident can take it home with her, to insure that it is not damaged.

Personal Items:

Aerosol type items are not permitted.
i.e., perfume, harispray, bodyspray, etc.

Earrings are allowed, although tongue, belly & facial rings are not permitted.

Books:

Books are encouraged. Graphic romance and murder novels are not permitted.
