— Prahb, 20 “Before Grace Haven, I lived in one room in a basement. I didn’t know anyone and had no one to talk to about the fear of giving birth on my own and stepping into the role of parenthood for the first time. Without Grace Haven, my life would be extremely hard. They became my family. For that, I am truly grateful.”

_______________________________________ The Salvation Army Grace Haven has been providing support to pregnant and parenting young women in Hamilton for over a century. Grace Haven has met many milestones and has evolved to meet the changing needs of the community. In 2020, Grace Haven recognized that it was time for us to shift our focus from limited, traditional and short-term mother/child supports to relevant, targeted and individualized supports for Moms, Dads and partners, with an emphasis on personal development, capacity building, overall wellness and strengthening the family.
