Women come to Sarah’s desperate and determined. In our 15th year of healing and hope, Sarah’s fosters self-empowerment of women in community through life skill development, advocacy, and referral services. Nearly 650 women in transition have come to Sarah’s for housing, community, and safety since 1996. Former residents have gone on to do ordinary everyday things in their lives that they re-started in this place of beauty and peace, life planning and goal setting, and shared lives and personal responsibility. Women find education, English, jobs, healing, renewal, and reunion with loved ones. Together, we can begin to create a world without homelessness, violence, and poverty.For more information: http://sarahsoasis.org

    I went with a friend to deliver gifts at Christmas time and I was impressed with the peaceful calming atmosphere. Any ministry that involves the good Sisters of St. Joseph is bound to be a wonderful one!

    Sarah's sense of being a home is so evident if one ever spends time among these strong women of Sarah's. They reach well beyond their time at Sarah's at enriching our communities and however we can embrace them while there makes all of stronger!

    Sarah's provides a real home for women in transition that helps heal and empower. Always full, always with arms open, it is a quiet part of our community that helps women transform their lives. As an attorney, I have worked with many women of Sarah's as they seek asylum in the US, and I have witnessed first hand the power that this home provides. Please join me in supporting Sarah's

    Sarah's...an Oasis for women is a home that heals, transforms and empowers the women who come to it through its beauty, its care and its spirituality. It is one of a kind and well worth supporting.

I invite you to join me in making a donation today (11/17) at GiveMN.org whereby each of our gifts will be matched.
