Pregnant Woman
Mothers' Home Crib
Mission 

As a residential shelter, Mothers' Home provides a safe haven for vulnerable, pregnant women in a crisis who choose life as a sacred gift.

We encourage our mothers to celebrate the joy of new life and help them prepare for their future and the future of their child.

We focus on physical, emotional and developmental needs including positive life skills, parenting, and job preparation.

We strive to assist our mothers to reach their goals of independence and self sufficiency.


  


About Mothers' Home 

Located in Darby, Delaware County, Pennsylvania, Mothers' Home presently has the capacity to serve 14 women throughout their pregnancy and during the first three to six months of their infant's life. Mothers' Home serves approximately 30-35 women and their infants during the course of a year.

Children are our hope for the future. Mothers' Home keeps that hope alive for many young adult women struggling to give birth in spite of rejection and abandonment. Each year, approximately 30-35 new mothers come to live at Mothers' Home and most return with their babies after delivery. While here, they receive counseling, childbirth and parenting classes, job preparation programs, and much more. Many of our residents take advantage of the computer literacy classes that are offered on-site at Mothers' Home.

The lower level of Mothers' Home serves as the "Sharing Space," an outreach program making available clothing and furniture donated by various churches, civic and private donors. These resources are available to any woman in a crisis pregnancy or any local family in need. 150-200 families are served each year. Currently, the Sharing Space is operated by volunteers, and is open two sessions each week. Information about the Sharing Space is available in Mothers' Home brochures as well as through local social service agencies. A referral from a social service agency is needed for admittance into the Sharing Space in order to manage the overwhelming need for these services in Delaware County.
