Making An Impact
Our Mission
At Mary & Martha House, our mission is to offer a sanctuary of safety and support to women and their children who have experienced the profound challenges of domestic violence and homelessness. Guided by compassion and a commitment to restoring dignity and self-worth, we strive to empower survivors on their journey to healing and independence.
Shelter
When women enter our shelter, they are truly in crisis mode. Often, women stay with their abusers because the only other choice is homelessness. Mary & Martha’s two shelters provide a safe haven for victims to escape abuse and begin recovery. Our shelters are designed to be just like home, with each family having their own space.
Support
Much like the wise Mary from the Bible, we know that it’s not just busy work that achieves results – it is the “good part.” Mary & Martha House provides individualized case management, which is the key to giving clients what they need to succeed. Spending time with each other, building relationships, and trust enables us to mend hearts, grow minds, and build spirit.
Success
At Mary & Martha we take every opportunity to celebrate success – even the smallest ones. Our clients learn how to build their confidence. This sense of achievement gives them the determination they need to keep working so they can achieve ultimate success: acquiring job skills, finding employment, and moving on to permanent housing.
