Maryvale’s Mission:
With loving and compassionate hearts, we seek to heal, educate, and empower those who need us most, lifting up one individual, one family, one community at a time.
The Seton House Project
Seton House seeks to provide safe housing for unhoused single mothers, empowering them with the tools to help change the trajectory of their lives.
