3.5 million women give birth in the U.S. each year. 70,000 babies are born each year to mothers facing homelessness during pregnancy or shortly after birth.

We are seeking to create a safe beginning and hopeful future for our maternity participants and their families.

Today, we ask for your prayers.

Pray for the mental health of the generation transitioning into adulthood – for those carrying trauma, anxiety, fear, and loneliness.

Pray for applicants to recognize their own value and worth enough to seek a new path and believe healing and stability are possible for them.

Pray for our current participants to experience peace, consistency, and healthy relationships as they continue to work toward independence.

We believe healing happens through relational support and the love of Christ. Thank you for praying alongside us.🤍

Recently, we had the opportunity to open our doors for a donor open house. One of our favorite parts of this work is sharing the heart behind what we do and the vision of providing a safe, Christ-centered environment for young women in our community.

Thank you for coming alongside us and investing in the lives of our participants. We truly could not do this without a community that cares so deeply. 🤍

We believe in fresh starts.

No matter the past, the future can be filled with purpose, faith, and opportunity.

Comment “new beginnings,” if you agree!

Step Up staff, volunteers, and board members have the incredible opportunity to model a life of following Jesus to our applicants, participants, and community. We are grateful for Christ—the perfect example we point others to—and for His presence at work within us.

“I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” — Galatians 2:20 (NIV)

At the end of April, we had an amazing group of volunteers from Bridge Bible Church “step up” and do some much needed spring cleaning! We are so grateful for all the work they did to make our houses feel like “homes” for the women at Step Up.

Happy Mother’s Day! 💐

Today we celebrate the incredible women in our community—participants, staff, board members, and volunteers—who are mothers, and those who step into a loving, maternal role every day.

Your compassion, strength, and steady presence create something powerful: a sense of home, belonging, and care for those who need it most.

Thank you for the countless ways you nurture, guide, and show up with love. You make this community stronger. 💛

“What would you tell your 18-year-old self?”

Now imagine facing adulthood without family support.

That’s the reality for many who age out of foster care—but together, we can step in with love and stability.

Growth doesn’t always make headlines—but it shows up in meaningful ways every day.

It looks like applying for jobs, landing that first position, saving from a paycheck, paying down bills, and showing up to work consistently.

We’re proud of the hard work our participants are putting in to build stable, independent futures. 💛

A special thank you to our local employer partners who invest in their growth and believe in their potential—you are a vital part of this journey.
