St. Marguerite d’Youville

Our home welcomes homeless pregnant women.  In some situations we will allow women with small children.  Each individual situation is unique.

We provide each resident with a peaceful, secure setting while helping to process her needs, her emotions, her choices.

We offer spiritual guidance, and women of all faiths are welcome.

We provide her with a place for reflection and re-direction, and each resident looks to the future with renewed hope.

We rely on the donations of individuals, families, churches, and organizations

$70 houses a single pregnant mother and provides much more than food, clothing, and shelter.  It also provides counseling, educational classes, parenting skills, vocational training, health care information, budgeting assistance, and more, all in an affirming Christian environment.

$35 provides formula, diapers, baby wipes, and other essentials to keep a d’Youville-Home baby healthy and happy for one week.

Average length of stay is six months.

You can be a Room Sponsor.  With a $5000 donation, your family’s name will be enshrined on a plaque in the home.

Thank you for any support you can give as we offer our services to help those women that Our Lord sends to our doors.

Please check our Volunteering page for other areas you can help.

After 10 years of helping women and saving babies, the DesOrmeaux Foundation, Inc.  opened the doors to a new project that started as a dream and in 2009 became a reality. Re-modeling began on the St. Marguerite d’Youville Home in January of 2009 to turn what was once a private residence into a home for homeless, pregnant women.  On September 7 of the same year, the doors opened to our fully-licensed home and is capable of housing up to six pregnant women.
