Meet The Haven of Grace

Serving women who are pregnant and homeless, The Haven of Grace provides a safe, nurturing home, educational programs and long-term support for mother and child.

We instill hope, dignity and the pride of independence…

More than a place…a community of people.

We celebrate the roles we all play including our friends, neighbors and partners. It is this collaboration that allows The Haven of Grace to provide a safe, nurturing home, educational programs and long-term support for mother and child.

We are more than just members of this community. We have a vested interest in its success. For many young mothers in our neighborhood the shelter and transitional apartments really are “A Haven.”

As we strive for a better tomorrow, we remain grateful that you are at our side today. Thank you for investing in the futures of our children and families through our work. Your belief in them, and your trust in us, move us forward.

Our Mission:

Serving women who are pregnant and homeless, The Haven of Grace provides a safe, nurturing home, educational programs and long-term support for mother and child. Founded in faith, we instill hope, dignity and the pride of independence, one family at a time.

Programs That Lead to Progress

The Haven of Grace fills a need in the community to help women who are pregnant and homeless. We provide a place to live, educational programs, and long-term support to break the chain of generational poverty.

Families begin a new path – one that leads to independence, stability, and self-sufficiency. Each woman helped by The Haven of Grace becomes a stronger member of our community and eventually can begin giving back to those who helped her move forward.

The Haven of Grace was opened in 1988 in North St. Louis City by parishioners from St. Peter’s Episcopal Church who saw a growing need for these services.
