Volunteer

We are always in need of volunteers who want not only help with the daily needs of our young mothers and their children, but also for caring people who want to help enrich their lives and add to their growth and learning experience.  Some examples of volunteers are:

Reading to Children

Teaching Life Skills (personal finances, cooking, how to use coupons, etc...)

Office Support

Tutors for the Girls

Laborers to help with our Expansion Plans, and yard-work

Drivers for Events or Functions

Babysitting (for girls who have jobs)


Contribute

We have many day to day items that are necessary for the running of the house.  Any contribution of necessary items would be greatly appreciated. Please see our WISH LIST for a list of items.

Also, any in-kind services that you may be able to provide:  Marketing, Public Relations, Landscaping, Lawn Service, etc...


Donate

Cash Donations of any kind are greatly appreciated, and are used towards all of the items on our WISH LIST as well as toward funding of larger, future expansion projects.

Future Expansion Projects - Our Current Vision for Our Mother's Home is three-fold:

1) To provide housing (a duplex) for our eighteen (18) year olds when they are ready to live on their own. We are looking to build a transitional duplex home for four mothers and four babies on donated land next to Our Mother's Home.

2) To expand the Our Mother's Home program to build a second Our Mother's Home and a second transition duplex.


 You Can Make a Difference in the Life of a Child...or Two. 
Thank You for Your Support
