What is the 1895 Club?
Holston Home established the 1895 Club as a program to recognize and honor donors who make an annual gift (calendar year) of $1,000 or more to support our ministry to children.
Why is it called the 1895 Club?
Our ministry began in 1895 when children were first brought into the shelter of the home. 1895 is a reminder of Holston Home’s blessed history and how God is growing this ministry for His glory.
How do I acquire Annual Membership?
Membership into the 1895 Club is acquired by giving at least $1,000 in a calendar year. You may give to any of our mailings or Friends of Children events. Friends of Children sponsors will be recognized as 1895 Club members. We want you to continue giving to the programs and services for which you are the most passionate and interested. For example, you can give one $1,000 gift or you might give five $200 gifts – whatever fits your giving objectives the best. If you are currently giving more than $1,000 annually, THANK YOU and please continue giving at the level of support that meets your philanthropic goals. To recognize donors who go above and beyond $1,000 annually there are additional gift categories to highlight your charity.
Why is the 1895 Club important?
- Celebrates the faithful giving of our friends
- Builds commitment through the years as we plan for the future needs of children
- Serves as an encouraging reminder of the difference you are making in the lives of children

How will 1895 Club members be recognized for their support?
Donors to Holston Home expect their gifts to be stretched to extend the best possible care to hurting children. So we want to recognize you while being good stewards of the gifts given.
An 1895 Club Certificate of Membership will be mailed to first-time members and Membership Year Stickers will be mailed to repeat members. We hope that repeat members will place year stickers on their certificates to show their commitment to Holston Home!
Thank you for your prayerful consideration and for giving to support children at Holston Home. We are excited about 2024, the children who will come to know and love Jesus, and the lives we will see transformed in His name.
