Helping Moms and Moms-to-Be Who Are in Crisis Take Care of Themselves, Their Babies (Born & Unborn) & Their Families

ese services, and who have been unable to receive these services at no charge from other private charitable organizations or public agencies in the community. Emmanuel House does this by:

* Assisting individuals and families (“the clients”) in creating individualized action plans for their pregnancy, for the birth of their baby and for support after the baby’s birth and for as long as they are in crisis;

* Making available self-administered pregnancy tests for clients to determine their pregnancy status so they can accurately develop their plans;

* Referring clients to local resource providers for assistance with healthcare, counseling, insurance, child care, transportation, rent, utilities, education, employment, nutrition/food, housing, finances and legal issues;

* Providing reference materials on pregnancy, fetal development, childbirth, infant care, parenting skills, child safety, life style choices and other relevant topics; and

* Acquiring (through material and financial donations from individuals, community organizations and local churches) and distributing needed material assistance (e.g., new & nearly new maternity, baby, toddler, children and adult clothing; new baby equipment; emergency baby supplies (e.g., diapers/wipes/rash cream, formula/bottles/nipples, baby food/cereal, baby shampoo/ wash/lotion/powder)), and referring clients to thrift shops (with vouchers) and donor lists for nearly-new baby equipment, furniture and household items. Special needs will be reviewed on an individual basis and a determination will made as to whether support and/or assistance can be provided (either internally or externally). Further, because Emmanuel House works individually with each client to help them develop their action plans, each client’s needs can be identified, and the best support and assistance can be determined for them. (Note: Because their plans are tailored, they are only given and/or referred to material assistance they actually need. This thereby lessens the burden on our government (local, state and federal), and in turn, lessens the burden on our community.)

Emmanuel House International (EHI) has closed its physical Carmel office location as part of a larger restructuring of its mission to serve Moms and Moms-to-Be in Need. EHI’s Founder & Executive Director is currently on leave due to health conditions. As a result, in-person client services will be on hiatus for the foreseeable future. In the coming months, EHI’s Board and Founder will be assessing what and how it will provide mission services in the future in the most efficient manner possible. In the meantime, we can no longer receive material donations. Your financial donations will go towards EHI’s existing commitments to help in-need clients, and continuing operational expenses.

Celebrate 9 Years of Service & Support EHI's Family of Family! You can be the Answer to the Crises Moms and Moms-to-Be Face! In just the past month, Ann reached out to EHI for help when her child with disabilities was going to loose Medicare/Medicaid coverage. John came in to tell us that their third child was expected before Christmas but he had been laid off for months and needed EHI’s help once again. Rebecca's baby’s dad was suffering from PTSD and couldn’t help with the baby’s expenses—she was hoping Emmanuel House could help instead. For each of these Families—and all who come to EHI seeking help—we work to find solutions to fit each Family’s needs and circumstances. You can be the answer to the crises they face – volunteer your time and skills, share your treasures or other gently used materials, or give financially and make a difference.

Our Story

Emmanuel House International, Inc., provides at no charge confidential and non-judgmental pre-natal and after-birth support and material assistance to individuals and their families (regardless of their age, race, ethnicity, national origin, marital status, religious affiliation, disability or socio-economic status), who are in crisis due to unplanned pregnancies, who could not otherwise afford these services, and who have been unable to receive these services at no charge from other private charitable organizations or public agencies in the community. Emmanuel House does this by: * Assisting individuals and families (“the clients”) in creating individualized action plans for their pregnancy, for the birth of their baby and for support after the baby’s birth and for as long as they are in crisis; * Making available self-administered pregnancy tests for clients to determine their pregnancy status so they can accurately develop their plans; * Referring clients to local resource providers for assistance with healthcare, counseling, insurance, child care, transportation, rent, utilities, education, employment, nutrition/food, housing, finances and legal issues; * Providing reference materials on pregnancy, fetal development, childbirth, infant care, parenting skills, child safety, life style choices and other relevant topics; and * Acquiring (through material and financial donations from individuals, community organizations and local churches) and distributing needed material assistance (e.g., new & nearly new maternity, baby, toddler, children and adult clothing; new baby equipment; emergency baby supplies (e.g., diapers/wipes/rash cream, formula/bottles/nipples, baby food/cereal, baby shampoo/ wash/lotion/powder)), and referring clients to thrift shops (with vouchers) and donor lists for nearly-new baby equipment, furniture and household items.
