Exciting News from Talbot House Ministries! We're thrilled to announce the purchase of the former Salvation Army facility in Winter Haven, FL! This expansion allows us to create Polk County's first dedicated center for women and children experiencing homelessness. "This is a huge step forward in supporting families facing homelessness," says Maria Cruz, our Executive Director. "The center will provide emergency shelter and critical support to ensure the well-being of children experiencing housing instability." Stay tuned for updates on the center's development! We can't wait to share more about how you can help make a difference in the lives of women and children in our community.

Today, we celebrate the unwavering love and strength of mothers. But Mother's Day isn't just about sunshine and roses. We know many moms are facing challenges, heartache, or loss. To those moms, we see you. Your compassion and resilience in the face of hardship are an inspiration. You are the safe harbor in the storm, the unwavering hand to hold through the tears. You teach us what it means to keep going, even when the world feels heavy. Today, and every day, we honor the power of mothers. You are the backbone of our families and communities. Thank you for carrying us through thick and thin, for celebrating our victories, and for picking us up when we fall. Sending love and strength to all the moms this Mother's Day. ❤️
