Check out our Impact Report for Summer 2025!
The Margaret Home continues to be a place of hope, growth, and transformation for pregnant and parenting mothers. This year’s impact includes mothers achieving major milestones—earning driver’s licenses, purchasing cars, celebrating one year at TMH, and even launching small businesses. Thanks to dedicated staff, volunteers, and community partners, mothers are supported through parenting, financial literacy, and career development programs. Excitingly, TMH has expanded by acquiring a second location in East Irondequoit, allowing us to grow from serving 10 women and children to 30. With your help, dreams are becoming reality for generations to come.
