Our Programs: A Plan for Progress
The Haven of Grace fills a need in the community to help women who are pregnant and unhoused. 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. We are proud of our updated kitchen, bathrooms, and living area designed for families, along with a playground in the courtyard.
The history of Haven of Grace was established as an outreach ministry of St. Peter’s Episcopal Church of Ladue, Missouri, in hopes of breaking the cycle of being unhoused, poor health, dependency, and child and adult abuse.
Your gift builds hope.
The Haven of Grace gladly accepts donations of new baby items and other basic supplies commonly used by the young mothers, preschoolers, toddlers, and infants residing in our Maternity Shelter.
