These last three years since launching House of Mary have been a whirlwind. Raising the funds to build a large maternity home is no easy task. Building a house is no easy task. Yet throughout the nitty-gritty process, God has poured out His sweet mercies on this ministry time and time again. By His grace, and through the overwhelming generosity of our community, we are excited to announce that we have officially broken ground on the first maternity home in Livingston, TX. ​

Last year, Savory September turned into Service September to aid families in rebuilding and recovering from Hurricane Harvey. After what has seemed like an eternity, Savory September is back! We are excited to share an evening with you, while eating delicious food and raising funds to build and furnish the first HOM home.

We are collecting auction items and donations currently. There are also sponsorship opportunities available. If you have any questions, feel free to contact any of the board members for more information about Savory September. Thank you for your ongoing support!

Consider joining us in an evening of fun, fellowship, fundraising and food. We look forward to seeing you!

Recently the city gave us the green light by approving all plans and giving us approved permits!  What does this mean?? Well, it means that we are breaking ground ASAP! 

We also have our very first building on our land!  Economy Portable Buildings in Livingston gave us a storage building. We feel beyond blessed by this generous donation to HOM. When we announced that we had a storage building on our social media sites we also asked if someone would partner with us to finish out the inside - insulate, rough in and just make it to where we can store all types of items inside. A generous donor contacted us and paid for all materials to make this shed 100% usable for all situations!  We then were contacted by Rick McGibney and his family and friends and they graciously did all the work for us (in the hottest summer ever I might add). 

Thank you again - Economy Portable Buildings, our Gracious supply donor, and the Rick McGibney family for blessing House of Mary with your services. 
Savory September is coming up on September 13th and tickets are on sale now!  With the house being built we need our village now more than ever. We are excited to see things that only God can do in the lives of Polk county through House of Mary. 

As we close out the year, we want to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.  Thank you for continuously praying and supporting House of Mary.  We praise God for our village.  We can't wait to see what God is going to do in 2018!!!!

In the coming weeks, the people of Polk County are going to need us as much as they have needed us the past few days. Hurricane Harvey and the devastation he has caused has broken the hearts of the HOM board. Because of this, we feel it appropriate to change our fundraiser, Savory September to Service September.  It will still be on the same day - September 14th from 4-8pm on the Home Grown Porch (across from Lowe's).  More information on all of the logistics will be coming very soon. 100% of the funds raised at Service September will go to Polk County Disaster Relief coordinated by Polk County Center of Hope. There will be various ways you can help with this event and we can't wait to let you know exactly how you can do so.  

We know that It Takes a Village to come back from natural disasters and we are excited to partner with each of you as we take care of our village. We will still be having a dinner, just in a different format, and we will be selling our new "It Takes a Village" t-shirt, all funds raised from shirts sold in September will go directly to Polk County Disaster Relief.
