Tommy's House is a Christ-centered
transitional living facility for women recovering from substance use disorder.
What does that mean?
Staff and volunteers are committed to a continuation of Tommy Olmstead's mission to share God's message of Hope, Love, & Faith to women recovering from addiction
within the Branch County community.
The woman behind the name
A realized vision of Tommy Olmstead, who was once describes as “epitomizing the very definition of service," Tommy's House opened its doors to women in need in 2016.
Olmstead, who passed away in 2020, spent more than 50 years of her God-centered life volunteering in her community.
She had been actively engaged in her faith community at First Baptist Church in so many capacities
the committee is still struggling to assemble a complete list.
Since its inception, Tommy’s House has filled a much needed gap in services in Branch County for women struggling with addiction. She was instrumental in starting a Christian Women’s Group in the county, she was a volunteer chaplain at the prison prior to its closing and has conducted a Bible Study for women at the Branch County jail for several years.
In 2016, Olmstead’s dream of opening a women’s rehabilitation center was realized when Tommy’s House, located at 50 N. Clay St., Coldwater, opened its doors to provide “a limited number of women, battling addiction, a safe, secure Christ centered environment; offering housing, counseling and support services to gain skills necessary to live a substance free life.”
