Stability First

Stability First Our Mission: Changing lives through stability, hope, and Christ. We work alongside our neighbors to identify resources and find solutions together.

Our Vision: By focusing on development over betterment, we sow the seeds for healthy and thriving lives. Stability First is a faith‐based initiative born out of the Morgan County Bridges Out of Poverty. Our programs include transitional housing as well as a circle of services geared toward assisting low income families in increasing financial stability and self-sufficiency. Below are the primary m

inistries of Stability First:

1. The Magdalene House is a facility for women without dependents. It provides housing and supportive services for up to 16 women. Our goal is to walk alongside women as they gain the stability need to live on their own. The program is faith-based and focused on an individualized, goal oriented process.
2. Foundations is a non-residential program providing spiritual mentoring, goal setting and accountability tools, as well as life coaching for men. Stability First envisions a residential program reinforcing these goals in the near future, as God provides.
3. The LYNAY Center is a multipurpose facility housing additional services to address poverty issues in Morgan County. Programming includes men’s outreach coaching sessions, recovery group meetings and educational, job and career exploration opportunities.
4. Maggie Bags is an entrepreneurial support ministry. The efforts of Magdalene House residents are combined with volunteers seamstresses to create beautiful women’s cross-body shoulder bags. Shelter residents learn sewing skills along with valuable job skills. Bags can be purchased at the Maggie Bag Boutique or online at www.maggie-bags.com

Every graduate of our residential programs within Magdalene House and Foundations House carries a story of courage, change, and hard-won new beginnings—and as they move forward, they are not leaving empty-handed.

We are deeply grateful to Prince of Peace for donating beautiful handmade quilts that we are honored to give as gifts to each graduate as they complete their program and step into their next chapter.

These quilts are more than a gift—they are symbols of their stories. 💙

Each piece represents moments from a life lived: some worn, some vibrant, some marked by pain, others softened by healing. Every fabric and stitch reflects a chapter that mattered.

As our graduates wrap themselves in these quilts, we hope they see what we see—that their lives are being gently stitched together by grace. That even the hardest pieces are not wasted. That what once felt broken is being woven into something whole.

A testimony of resilience. A reminder of hope. A tangible reminder of how far they’ve come.

Thank you again to Prince of Peace for making it possible to honor every Magdalene House and Foundations House graduate in such a meaningful way.

There’s a mission happening here — and it only works because people like you step in to help. ❤️

At Stability First, volunteers are part of the heartbeat of everything we do. From supporting events and assisting with outreach, to helping behind the scenes, organizing donations, and filling in where needs arise—every role matters more than words can capture.

This isn’t just about giving time. It’s about showing up for a community built on hope, healing, stability, and restoration for individuals and families walking through difficult seasons.

If you’ve been looking for a way to get involved, give back, and serve with purpose, we would be grateful to have you join us.
