Pastor Reginald E Kerr who after retiring thirty-seven and a half years from Dunlop Tires (Tonawanda NY) and serving faithfully for almost 20 years ministering to inmates at the Gowanda, Attica, and Collins correctional facilities decided to start his own Church (Temple of Christ) in 2005.

Three years later (2008), with his wife Sarah by his side, he would open up My Place Home for the Homeless Shelter for women and children. Their shelter would provide a warm and safe environment, nutritional meals and access to resources to help the disadvantaged rebuild and regain their independence and self-sufficiency.

Pastor Kerr invested not only his time but also his personal financial resources to help others. These charitable acts of love inspired others to join and continue the mission of serving others. Many people have donated their time and resources to continue the mission of love that he started.

My Place Home is committed to helping those displaced by hardships that and without permanent housing to reclaim their independence and find a place to call home.
