Mary's Shelter announces the separation of the Berks and Lehigh Locations

The Board of Directors for Mary's Shelter has made the difficult yet insightful decision to separate the two locations in Reading and Bethlehem. This decision was made after months of strategic planning and with input from clients, staff and supporters.

This strategic move allows the two separate locations to grow in a direction that uniquely serves the ever changing needs of the constituents and their respective communities. Volunteers and supporters will have greater involvement and input within each organization and the community engagement will enhance the respective programs dramatically. Those who will benefit the most are the young women in need of care.

The bonds that have been forged and friendships made over the last six years will be forever in our hearts. Although we may follow separate and unique paths, the best interest of our young mothers will always remain a priority focus.

We ask that you prayerfully consider continuing your support of each organization Mary's Shelter, Reading and the Cay Galgon Life House, Bethlehem as the need in each community is great. Prayers for the health, wellbeing and success for all the young mother's past, present, and future is one of the greatest gifts you can provide.
