Transform Lives. Build Futures. Heal.
ome .When you donate to Mary and Elizabeth’s House this holiday season, you’re giving a mother and her children more than shelter—you’re giving them a place to heal, hope to hold onto, and a future to believe in.
When we house a mother, we secure a child's future.

The building that houses Mary and Elizabeth’s House was once home to Tommie and Elizabeth Johnson. Tom was known as the generous patriarch of the Johnson and Swain families—a man who opened his doors to anyone in need.
When Tom passed, the family made a decision that would honor his legacy forever: transform his home into a beacon of hope for the community he loved.
Today, that same spirit of radical hospitality lives on. Every family who walks through our doors steps into a legacy of love that spans generations.
