Located in San Pablo, California,
19 miles from San Francisco, Mary's House is a shelter for
pregnant women 18 and over who have nowhere else to turn.
A ministry of the Divine
Mercy Eucharistic Society, Mary's
House serves women without regard to religious affiliation.
The home is supported by donations and by the proceeds of
the volunteer-run thrift shop, the
Treasure Chest.
Aside from providing a halfway house so the women need not
choose abortion, Mary's House helps its residents progress
toward the goal of independent living. Job training, resume
writing, interviewing, and job search techniques are emphasized
and facilitated. During her pregnancy, a Mary's House resident
receives room and board while working or continuing her education.
After her baby is born, she may continue to live at Mary's
House for up to six months while furthering her education
or securing employment.
Corporate sponsors,
individual donors,
and volunteers
are vitally needed to sustain our operations.
