Nurture Home

Nurture Home is our response to single women and mothers who are homeless, and most often the victims of domestic violence. Nurture Home provides structured interventions to empower each of the women to become self-sufficient. Combined with individualized support to improve the mental health of women and their children, our goal is to end the cycle of homelessness.

A Garden of Hope "A new group called Mommy & Me Missions was formed by Adrienne Patterson so mothers and their children could give back to the community. Adrienne established the group in June, and the group will do volunteer work every Wednesday until school starts. They planted a garden at the Nurture Home in late June and the garden continues to flourish and provide both beauty and sustenance to the residents of the shelter."

Helping Build a Foundation for the Future  "Woodside Plantation and the Women of Woodside donated proceeds from the 2011 Festival of Homes to Mental Health America of Aiken County's Nurture Home. Nurture Home is committed to ensuring a safe and caring temporary place for homeless women and their children while requiring the commitment of the residents to take care of the house, parent their children and hold a job or pursue an education. Nurture Home is making the lives of homeless mothers and children in our community."
