Bob Brown House

The Bob Brown House in Lexington Kentucky needs our help – and you need to heed this call. They not only provide an invaluable service but represent the principles we stand for.


Bob W. Brown was pastor of the Trinity Baptist Church in Lexington, Kentucky. Brown was a pioneer in leading his church to begin programs for many segments of society neglected by communities in the late 1950's and 60's. He was also a prominent democrat as well but politically he had a strong belief that it was not the government’s responsibility but that of the church to take care of the needs of its people.

He had a vision of a safe, affordable home where people with all kinds of physical and mental challenges could live together as family. This small group of individuals became the moving force behind a project which was to become the only facility of its kind in the country, fully paid and built solely with private funds.

Although Pastor Brown past away in 1980, his legacy of what he believed in lives on in his children, grandchildren and the many many people he has now touched through the Bob Brown House

Bob W. Brown was a man who touched "the least of these" his entire life. Now in its 35th year, the Bob Brown House stands as a testament to this man, his vision, and proof that we each can make a difference. The home still operates fully on donations and contributions by individuals, churches and other organizations.

Their mission for their organization is "Opening a door to independence for the physically and mentally challenged.”

Bob Brown Home provides a safe independent home for adults with various mental and physical challenges. They currently have 14 residents of all ages and abilities that call this their home. What makes this home unique is that they do not focus on the “needs” of the residents but providing opportunities for these people in need. They have (and accept) volunteers that assist with special needs and a full time staff and family that actually lives at the home.

They do not take government grant money or expect politicians to take care of them. They rely on donations and help from people like you. Like the oil in lamp in Elijah each month they have just enough to keep this fire burning.

They have some very immediate needs to take care of. Bob Brown House has been operating for 35 years and are constant needs now coming up:
Emergency need 3 window air conditioners
Patio furniture
Ceiling fans
Ongoing needs of non-perishable food and household goods

We will also be raising money this month for the Bob Brown House and our goal is one months worth of operating expenses for the home.
