About This Cause
St. Margaret's House is a day center that improves the lives of women who struggle with economic poverty. Our mission is to provide a safe, hospitable place where women and children can access emergency services, discover their gifts, learn new skills and receive individualized attention that will help them create a better life for themselves and their families. Open 10-3 Monday thru Friday, St. Margaret's House provides, on a drop-in basis, a light breakfast, a hot hearty lunch and access to showers, clothing, telephones, laundry facilities, toiletries and computers with internet. We provide programs in the areas of art, health, parenting, empowerment, education and job skills. We do this in the context of a supportive community where women are encouraged to define themselves by their strengths and talents rather than by their problems. By helping women make a basic paradigm shift in their self-perception, women find the power to make real changes in their lives that help lead them out of poverty. We serve an average of 85 women and children a day and serve 25,000 meals a year. 50% of our guests live on a household income of $500 a month or less. We have a paid staff of 14 and 150 volunteers serve on a weekly basis.
