Our goal is to encourage capable women to make healthy choices for themselves and their families. Open Arms Pregnancy Center is a 501c3 nonprofit operating in Augusta, Maine. 

Our biggest programs are free pregnancy tests, emergency assistance, and a mom’s support group. With positive pregnancy tests, we give information about options and advise to our services. 

We also offer emergency assistance making maternity clothes, baby clothes and diapers available for situations that need some immediate help. Clients can come in anytime during office hours and don’t need an appointment. They leave with a generous amount of everything from socks to blankets and an invitation to join the support group for ongoing assistance. 

Our most popular program is a “mommy group” for women who are pregnant or who have a child under 3. The support group meets every Thursday evening and provides an opportunity for each individual to share whatever they are dealing with this week. 

Each mom who attends the group gets to shop in our resources room and select something for her baby. Group is an opportunity for mentoring and for building caring, supportive relationships with other young moms. Members of the group have a group chat on messenger and share with each other and the leader throughout the week. 

Group becomes an important support during the difficult time of transitioning to successful motherhood. If the need arises, more private conversation is also available during office hours.

Founded in 1992, the Shepherd’s Godparent Home is a crisis center located in Bangor, Maine. Their doors opened to residents in 2003 and two shelter homes house young women in their teens up to their 40s who are pregnant or parenting and are in crisis. 

Their mission: to support life from conception to natural death. They offer help in difficult times to various situations that come their way. 

Recently, we had a Dad reach out to us. Throughout the years he dropped off diapers, shared his successes, and other times, sought help.

Recently, he needed help. He didn’t have a job and was staying in his car. He was out of food and money. Two years clean and sober, he didn’t want to stay in the shelters. Humbly, he asked for something to eat. 

We put together a bag of food.  Executive Director, Barbara Ford, and her husband invited him to dinner. They caught up on his kids, his plans, and gave him more food gathered from the Godparent Home. He was humbly thankful. 

As he left Barbara told him, “I want you to know we love you. More importantly, Jesus loves you. We care about what happens to you.” Looking at her, this 44-year-old, 6’ 5” 300lb+ recovering addict grown man had tears in his eyes. Choked up, he said: “it’s been a long time since someone said those words to me. I love you guys too. Really, thank you...”

Sheltering Moms, Nurturing Babies. In 2019, with the help of others who also recognized the need and shared this vision, a steering committee was formed. Their vision of a faith-based, non-profit residential home, situated in Central Maine. This home would shelter expectant mothers through pregnancy and offer them hope and support while raising their babies through the first year. All mothers are welcome without regard to race, national origin, socioeconomic status, or religious affiliation. 

Services and products provided will be donor supported, at no cost to the residents and include food, shelter, life skills and parenting classes, mentoring, and transportation. In 2022 our community responded, and we can’t express how grateful we are. 

We extended our faith in a creative offer on a renovated farmhouse. We are so excited to introduce you to The Charlane M. Chapman House in Hebron, Maine. It is located amongst beautiful farmlands, while just a quick drive to the conveniences of town. Our new home comes with 8 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, a large family-style kitchen, and carriage house. 

Life House Maine is looking for partners with a heart to impact their community. We invite you to partner with us in our vision. All gifts are tax deductible.

Nurturing life in Lewiston - where neighbors help neighbors. On Free Market Day, sidewalks around the Family Support Center are alive with moms and babies, new immigrant families, seniors, disabled adults, and unhoused teens. 

Though these segments of the community all struggle with challenges, on Market Day there is hope in the air. The Free Women’s Health Clinic and the Free Family Thrift Store offer free services at the markets too. But the most popular is the weekly food! After “shopping” for free fruits/veggies, meats/dairy, baked goods, etc., most leave with smiles, kids skipping, and arms laden with delicious/healthy foods. 

When recession, unemployment, global violence, and Covid caused the already-struggling former mill town to feel greater pangs of food insecurity, Hope House noticed. Food had become the most-requested service of this inner-city center. Almost half the neighborhood’s children live in poverty and over 1/3 of households use SNAP (food stamps),* which only provides food for about half the month. 

With up to half the households having no car, Hope House made sure nutritious food was readily available downtown. Hope House’s expanded food program has seen diverse and discouraged neighbors rise up, side by side, to become their own solution. 

These neighbors have overseen donation pick-up, food-sorting/set-up, market operation, and delivery of food boxes to neighborhood shut-ins. Free Market Days have become community celebrations of life!
