Tommy's House

Tommy's House Tommy's House is a Christ-centered living facility for women overcoming substance use disorder. The couple raised five sons and a foster son.

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 was actively engaged in her faith community at First Baptist Church in so many capacities the committee is still s

truggling 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. Born in Indiana, Olmstead moved to Coldwater with her family as a child. She graduated from Coldwater High School, where she met her late husband of over 60 years. A humble women, Olmstead said, “I don’t know why they chose me but it is very nice. I always think that people who are (honored) have to do something outstanding. I don’t think anything I have done is that outstanding.”


Olmstead has been 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.”

Donations Needed

One of the beautiful things about Tommy’s House is watching women step into a fresh start. Healing, rebuilding, learning new rhythms of life with Christ at the center. But a home full of women in recovery also means everyday supplies go quickly.

Right now we are especially in need of:
• Laundry soap
• Dryer sheets
• Disinfectant spray

These simple items help us keep the home clean, comfortable, and running smoothly for the women who are working so hard to rebuild their lives.

If you feel led to help, donations can be dropped off or coordinated through the page. Every little bit truly makes a difference.

Thank you for being part of the village that helps these women rise again.

Tickets go on sale in March, and seating will be limited.

We hope you will join us under the lights as we continue this life-changing work together.

We’re a few months closer to one of the most meaningful nights of the year… and the momentum is already building. ✨️

Today we want to publicly thank Longstreet Living for stepping in as the very first sponsor of the Second Annual Tommy’s House Soirée. When a local business chooses mission over marketing, generosity over recognition, lives truly change.

Because behind the elegance of this evening is something far deeper… women finding safety, families being restored, and stories being rewritten through the love of Christ.

Longstreet Living didn’t wait to see who else would go first.

They went first.

And leadership like that strengthens an entire community.

Now we’re inviting other local businesses to pull up a seat to the table.

If your business has ever wondered how to make a tangible impact right here at home — this is it.

Sponsorship opportunities and donation partnerships are now open, and we would love to connect with you.

Message us to learn how you can be part of a night that doesn’t just raise funds… it raises futures.

May 9, 2026 is coming quicker than you think ✨

And trust us — you’ll want to be in the room.

We’re grateful to be part of a community that shows up, collaborates, and believes in the work being done every day at Tommy’s House.

Earlier this week at Tommy’s House, something really special happened.

Volunteers, past residents, and current residents gathered in the same space… sharing food, conversation, laughter, and connection.

One of the most meaningful parts of the night was seeing past and current residents connect. Stories crossing seasons. Encouragement being passed along. A visible reminder that healing doesn’t end when someone completes a program… it continues through community.

This is what support looks like.

This is what it means to walk alongside one another.
Not perfectly. Just faithfully.

Grateful for a community that shows up, stays connected, and reminds each other that no one is walking this journey alone. ❤️

We have a woman at Tommy’s House, and she’s in need of a women’s winter coat in size 3X or 4X.

If you have one you’d be willing to donate, or purchase for her it would mean more than you know. A warm coat is more than clothing—it’s comfort, dignity, and a reminder that someone sees her.

Please message the page if you can help. Thank you for being part of the care that changes lives. 🫶

We’re heartbroken to share that our friend and supporter Betty “Betty Boop” Sump went home to be with Jesus this past weekend.

Betty was one of a kind — full of life, laughter, and love for the Lord. She showed up for others in quiet, meaningful ways and had a gift for making people feel cared for.

Please keep Teresa and the Sump family in your prayers as they walk through this loss.

We’ll miss you, Betty — your kindness, your sense of humor, and your light will not be forgotten. 💛
