Proud Supporter
of Villa Maria
"A Portion of our
profits go to
Villa Maria"
 Villa
Maria is a home where women who are in crisis can
come for help. It's a place where they can find
secure, womanly shelter, and where guidance and
caring are the tools used to help them work their
way from crisis to self-sufficiency.
In 1958 Villa Maria, a Jesuit parish outreach, was
founded to respond to the needs of elderly women who
were poor and disadvantaged; in the 1970s the
ministry was expanded to include elderly men. In
February 2007, in response to the lack in services
available to single women in crisis, Villa Maria
opened its doors to meet this critical gap. But, we
need your help to keep our doors open.
Blessings and Guidance
Our services are a blessing for the women that need
our help. Villa Maria offers each guest
comprehensive planning to help her find solutions
for her crisis. Professional case management
services also accompany each woman in exploring
options for:
• Job
Training/Employment
• Counseling
• Transportation
• Housing
• Medical Care
• Further Education
Another core service is to provide secure
woman-centered housing. As a first step to helping
our guests feel safe and build self-confidence,
every woman is given a clean room and nourishing
meals.
In addition to fulfilling the material needs of our
guests, we also work to meet their emotional needs
by sharing our spirituality, showing genuine
concern, and offering reassuring friendship.
Hope and Inspiration
Our mission is to instill hope and to inspire our
guests to overcome the crisis that brought them to
our door. We do this with guidance and by setting
clear expectations, such as:
•
Remaining drug and alcohol free
• Staying involved in case management
• Saving income for rent and furnishing permanent
housing
• Respecting the safety and comfort of other guests
• Sharing in chores, and
• Abiding by the rules
