Heart of Hope - A Sanctuary for Women is a faith-based maternity/mother/child home. In a family setting staffed with house parents, young pregnant women ages 11-23 are provided a safe refuge to focus on their emotional, physical, educational, and spiritual well-being. Through on-site professional counseling, life skill training and continued education in the computer classroom, young women are released into a purpose driven life. Opportunities are created for spiritual renewal in family devotions, personal Bible study, and corporate worship. Intentional living brings emotional healing and empowerment to make better choices resulting in a confident parenting decision; single-parenthood, marriage, or the gift of adoption. In 2020, Heart of Hope began serving new moms and their newborns longer term. We now have an expanded program to care for our mothers/children up to the child's 2nd birthday.
