At Zelie’s Home, we value all persons as children of God and treat them with love and respect. We strive to ensure that each member of the community has a voice in how we share life together. We support the establishment of healthy relationships and boundaries.

The staff, AmeriCorps members, volunteers, and Board of Directors of Zelie’s Home work together to achieve our mission and do it with love. We encourage our moms, both current and alumnae, to come together in supportive ways for each other. We utilize and share resources with other community organizations in support of our common goals.

We foster growth both in our staff and in our moms. We encourage the moms, both current and alumnae, to set goals for themselves and their babies, celebrating with them every step forward along the way. Our staff learns and grows with the moms and babies, because life flourishes when we all become our best selves.

Zelie’s Home fosters a caring and loving environment. No one is judged for past mistakes. Each mom receives guidance and tools for making good choices for themselves and for their children.

We encourage our moms to be creative in achieving their goals. Our moms learn skills for moving forward even when they encounter obstacles and setbacks. We desire that each mom leave our program with a strong sense of resiliency and empowerment.
