The Way Maker Place is successful because of your prayerful, spiritual, serving and financial support. We thrive when our community works together and could never say thank you enough. We are also supported by prayer partners and hands-on volunteers and we can’t do it without you! Want to give today? Click the button below!

The Way Maker Place is a newly established (February 2024) 501(c)(3), faith-based, “room and board” organization in Springfield, TN for men ages 18-40 who need guidance and supervision. Residents have their own living space and are encouraged to perform daily tasks and self-care activities independently, while receiving the guidance and support needed to empower them to thrive and live their best life. This balanced approach fosters autonomy, dignity, and community engagement.  A very low resident to staff ratio combined with the high level of personal care and attention each resident receives truly makes it home for those who live there.

Your financial support is crucial to this mission, and we would love to share more about how to partner with The Way Maker Place. Currently, we have a giving portal through PayPal and plan to add additional donation methods soon!

At The Way Maker Place, we delight in discovering what brings our residents joy.  One resident, Matthew, loves to go bike riding, but hasn’t been able to since the traumatic brain injury that caused his disability.  Someone recently donated a special bike for Matthew, and Dr. Chris took Matthew and the bike to a Master Fabricator who used his skills to modify and stabilize the bike so Matthew could ride comfortably and safely.  This level of thoughtful, intentional care would not be possible in a larger setting and lets each resident know they are valued.

Testimonials:  “It has been 3 months today that we took Matt to Way Maker Place to live. The Bannings have been an answer to so many of our prayers. They’ve provided him a safe place to live, shown him love, and cared for him in countless ways. We are so grateful for God placing Way Maker Place and the Banning family in Matt’s life and in ours.” From Debbie, Matt’s mom

Thank you for being a part of our story.
