Throughout the generations women have repeated this story.

Maggie's Place
PO Box 1102
Phoenix , Arizona 85001
(602) 252-2695
Email: maggiesplace4@juno.com
Website: www.maggiesplace.org
Maggie's Place is a house of hospitality for pregnant women that are alone or on the streets. The mission of Maggie's Place is two-fold. First, Maggie's Place provides for the immediate physical and emotional needs of their guests by providing things such as shelter, food, clothing, transportation and a supportive community. Second, Maggie's Place connects their guests to appropriate agencies and resources including prenatal care, health insurance, low-cost housing, education programs, etc.
Homelessness and/or crisis situations involve poor nutrition, lack of sleep, unsafe and inconsistent environments, inadequate health care, and lack of a support network. In totality, these elements put the mother and child in these situations at very high-risk during pregnancy. Maggie's Place provides nutritious food, a consistent, restful environment, connections to health care, and a strong support network. During the stay of their guests (which lasts through pregnancy and up to six months after the birth of the child), Maggie's Place provides the knowledge of resources, a stable environment, and an encouraging community to assist our guests in meeting their self-identified goals.
Maggie's Place uses the term "house of hospitality" over "shelter" for a variety of reasons. First, they think of their work fundamentally as creating a home. While they recognize and value the importance of maintaining the professionalism of a non-profit agency, they seek to create an environment that is far from impersonal. Second, both staff and moms live in community within the house. The staff members are committed to learning from, celebrating with, and most fundamentally, living with the women that join the Maggie's Place community. Finally, they think of the ideal of offering hospitality as an empowering concept. Maggie's Place is not solely about "providing services to the less fortunate." Rather, by creating a community where love is tangible, they seek to challenge women to identify their goals, to pursue connections that can assist them, and to take strides toward personal growth.
Information about Maggie's Place--their program or their philosophy--is happily shared with interested persons. Please do not hesitate to contact us.
