Event Description:
Maggie’s Place to Offer Open House August 12
Maggie’s Place, a faith-based community of hospitality homes for expectant women, will offer an Open House to the public on Sunday, August 12 from1-3 pm at their (Parma) Zechariah House location. The Open House will feature tours and refreshments, followed by a Mass to be celebrated promptly at 3 pm.
Maggie’s Place provides safe housing, nourishing food, clothing, counseling, employment and educational opportunities for pregnant women who may be alone, on the streets or facing other difficult life circumstances. Women must be at least 18 years of age, non-drug using and pregnant to be admitted, and may stay up to 18 months.
Each mother in residence at Maggie’s Place has the opportunity to complete life skills sessions such as budgeting, parenting, job searching and personal growth and discovery. Mothers can also increase their educational level while living at The Zechariah House, by completing their GED, job training or attending classes, positioning them for better job opportunities. At a time when Ohio’s jobless rate persists at nearly 10% and the child poverty level in Cleveland stands at 21.6%, Maggie’s Place is playing an important role in preparing new parents for their responsibilities.
To attend the Open House, contact the Zechariah House at 440.886.2620 or email tkuivinen@maggiesplace.org. The Open House is free to the public; exact address will be provided upon reservation. For additional information on Maggie’s Place, please visit www.maggiesplace.org or Like us on Facebook.

About Maggie’s Place
Maggie's Place is a community of homes that provide hospitality for pregnant women who are alone or on the streets. We have a two-fold strategy in assisting mothers to grow. First, Maggie's Place provides for the immediate physical and emotional needs of our guests including shelter, food, clothing, and a supportive home-like environment. As such, we model family and a community. In addition, Maggie's Place provides ongoing counseling, learning opportunities and connects expectant mothers to appropriate agencies and resources including prenatal care, health insurance, low-cost housing, job placement and education programs in an effort to help them reach their short-term and long-term goals.
