Together, we are providing hope beyond the crisis…

We want to make sure that every mom and baby feels supported as they begin their new life together.  We provide moms with rent assistance to prevent evictions, family homelessness, and ensure they have a home to raise their new baby in. We also distribute portable cribs to ensure that every baby has a safe place to sleep and baby shower baskets so moms are prepared and can celebrate the arrival of their new baby. In most cases, moms feel supported for the first time and they become hopeful for their futures. We partner with people like you and 178 agencies throughout MN to ensure that any pregnant woman or mom with an infant under 12 months has the support she needs.

Please contact Darlene Kopesky with any questions:

651-636-3127 or dkopesky@cradleofhope.org
