who we are
About MHHV
At the Maternity Home of the Hudson Valley, we believe EVERYONE deserves a safe place to call home. An unexpected pregnancy can pose an immense challenge to a woman living in unstable conditions. Our mission is to be a Beacon of Light and a hand of hope by offering a safe, accepting home in a Christian family-like atmosphere to pregnant women faced with an unplanned pregnancy and little support or resources. Our heartfelt desire is that women at the MHHV will experience the love and acceptance of Jesus Christ and that the quality of their lives, and that of their babies, will be enriched as a result of their time at the home.
A home for 5 mothers in need
Support for up to 1 year after their baby is born
The Hands + Feet Of Jesus
“When you cared for one of the least of these, my little ones, you demonstrated love for me.” Matthew 25:40
It is our desire to be the heart, hands, and feet of Jesus Christ extended to those in need. It is our intent to exemplify the mercy, grace, and love of God to all those who come to us for help.
Judgement Free Zone
“God did not send his Son into the world to judge and condemn the world, but to be its Savior and rescue it!” John 3:17
Every mother is surrounded with love, support, and acceptance. We are a judgment-free home.
Exemplifying Christ
“I say this because I know what I am planning for you,” says the LORD. “I have good plans for you, not plans to hurt you. I will give you hope and a good future.” Jeremiah 29:11
We endeavor to uphold the tenets of the Bible. Through prayer, the study of scriptures, exemplifying Christ, and cultivating a nurturing environment, mothers receive strength and encouragement to prepare for future life outside of the home with their new babies.
What we Do
Our primary causes
The Maternity Home of the Hudson Valley is a residential Christ-centered home with the capacity to serve 5 mothers and their babies. Mothers can remain in the home for up to one year after the birth of their child. During their time at the home mothers are given the opportunity to prepare for their next step in life through the incorporation of biblical studies and a variety of trainings and coaching. It is our heartfelt desire that every mother will be equipped with the skills and resources that will enable them to remain stable and self-sustaining once leaving the home.
