About the Campaign

Our $8 million campaign will give more moms and children the place, space, and resources to thrive.

Marguerite’s Place

Over three decades, Marguerite’s Place has journeyed with thousands of families to help them leave behind impossible choices for good and prepare for a stable, safe, and bright future.

Our strategies have produced meaningful results:

  • 800 women and children have experienced 295,650 nights of safe shelter since 1994.
  • 100% of families in our transitional housing program have secured employment or enrolled in school within 90 days of moving in.
  • 80%+ of residents have transitioned to permanent, long-term housing.
  • 911 participants attended community programs in 2024, up from 590 in 2023.

 

We are proud of these successes, but the number of families in need continues to skyrocket and our existing space cannot accommodate them. We will nearly triple our physical footprint and increase critical programming with your support.

Our Founders

Three decades ago, Sister Sharon Walsh and Sister Elaine Fahey came from Philadelphia to southern New Hampshire to establish social services for families experiencing homelessness.

They created Marguerite’s Place, named in honor of St. Marguerite d’Youville, who founded the Grey Nuns of the Sacred Heart and dedicated her life to supporting the most vulnerable members of her community.

Today, we carry on their legacy as the state’s only organization that provides transitional housing, quality licensed child care, and supportive group programming under one roof. 

We need donors like you to make sure more families can build a brighter future.

Your gift to The Place for Possibility campaign will boost transitional housing, increase high-quality child care, and expand life changing community support for thousands of families in southern New Hampshire.
