Mother's Day is fast approaching and I am sure many of you are looking for a way to honor your mothers. I wanted to share with you a wonderful opportunity to not only honor your mother, but to honor all mothers.
Maggie's Place is a community of homes offering hospitality for expectant women who are alone or on the streets. Much more than a shelter Maggie's Place is a community...a family...of mothers, babies, staff, volunteers and donors. Expectant women can join the Maggie's Place community any time during thier pregnancy and stay up until nine months after they give birth. The physical and emotional needs of the mothers at Maggie's Place are provided for with shelter, food, clothing and a supportive community. As well, mothers are supported in thier short and long term goals through connections to appropriate agencies, resources and programs. Maggie's Place supports the mothers as they give birth to thier child...and to their dreams
Maggie's Place has a very special place in my heart. I spent two years as a staff member at Maggie's Place living in community with mothers, babies and other staff members. During those two years my life was forever changed and I developed friendships that will last a life time. In early August I will return to serve as a staff member again...giving birth to my dreams.
