Marisol Homes

arisol Homes provides safe and secure
emergency and community-based
housing for pregnant women and single
women with children who are experiencing
homelessness. They work with women and
their families as they integrate back into the
community by offering counseling, job train-
ing, workshops, and needed quality childcare
services for their children up to 12 years old.
They help the women to rebuild their lives by
walking alongside them to secure housing
and placing them on a trajectory to stability.
Deacons involved in this ministry help to
bring a compassionate male presence and
visit with the women and families. They share
a meal with the residents once a month.
They also assist with the charity aspect and
the acquisition of donations like hygiene kits.

lic Charities, including shelter and housing
services, family and children's services and
counseling. Deacons provide monthly Ado-
