Hold Steady. Bring Hope.
“This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast. Hebrews 6:19
Become an Anchor Partner and help secure the foundation that holds moms and children steady when everything else is falling apart.
The Story
She didn't have a plan. She had a positive pregnancy test, an eviction notice, and a phone number someone had texted to her.
That's how most moms find Ruth Harbor — not through a careful search, but through a moment of desperation that God, somehow, had already prepared for. She needed more than a roof. She needed to learn what it means to be a mother. To discover that she is worth something. To believe that her child has a future.
That kind of transformation doesn't happen overnight. It takes months of intentional care — counseling, life skills, parenting support, community, and the steady presence of people who refuse to give up on her.
It takes a foundation that holds.
The Need
Ruth Harbor is a home. It's also a program, a community, and a two-generation investment in seeing young families flourish. We believe that if we can help a mother establish a safe, secure, and nurturing home, we change the trajectory for both her and her child — not just for this season, but for a lifetime.
That work costs approximately $800,000 every year.
We don't say that to impress you. We say it because we want you to understand the scale of what's required — and the opportunity in front of you.
Most of our funding comes from partners like you: individuals, families, and churches who have decided that the lives of vulnerable mothers and children are worth the investment. Your generosity is the reason moms have a place to land. Your faithfulness is what makes transformation possible. Your love gives them hope.
The Circle of Hope: Enter Anchor Partners
At Ruth Harbor, we talk about the Circle of Hope — a whole community of people who surround a mom and her child as she moves from surviving to thriving. Staff and volunteers are at the center. Mentors and partner families walk alongside. And at the outer ring — holding everything steady — are Anchor Partners.
Anchor Partners are individuals, families, and churches who make an ongoing financial commitment to keep Ruth Harbor fully funded. Not a one-time gift when it's convenient. A sustained commitment, renewed year after year, that says: I believe this mission is worth anchoring.
Just as the writer of Hebrews calls hope "an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast," Anchor Partners bring that same kind of steadfastness to the moms and children in our care. You become the stability that makes their healing possible.
Giving Tiers
Choose your amount. Join the Circle.
Anyone who commits to a recurring monthly gift of $25 or more becomes an Anchor Partner. Every level is meaningful. Every commitment brings us closer to a fully funded mission.
$25/month ($300/year)
Your monthly gift provides household essentials — diapers, groceries, and basic supplies — so a mom can focus on her healing instead of her next crisis.
$50/month ($600/year)
Your monthly gift contributes toward childcare support, giving a mom the space to attend classes, counseling, and the life-skills training that changes her trajectory.
$100/month ($1,200/year)
Your monthly gift funds a full month of one-on-one parenting coaching — the kind of investment that shapes how a mother relates to her child for the rest of her life.
$250/month ($3,000/year)
Your monthly gift helps hold the whole Circle of Hope steady — the housing, the care, the relationships that turn a moment of crisis into a lifetime of possibility.
Give at any level — including a custom amount. If you can give $25 a month, you are an Anchor Partner. The commitment matters more than the size.
What to Expect
When you become an Anchor Partner, you're not just making a transaction. You're joining a community — and we're building something worth joining.
This summer, Anchor Partners will begin receiving:
A Monthly Letter from Ruth Harbor — A personal update from our team: a story from the program, honest reporting on where we are, and a window into the lives your generosity is anchoring. Not a mass newsletter. A letter written for you.
The Anchor Partner Formation Series — Coming in June, we'll begin equipping our Anchor Partners to understand the mission at a deeper level. What does trauma actually do to a family? What does genuine help look like — and what makes well-meaning help harmful? How do you love someone toward flourishing without creating dependence? These are the questions we work with every day. We want you to work through them with us.
Community and Recognition — Anchor Partners will be honored at our annual Vision Dinner and invited to gatherings where you can see the work firsthand, connect with others who share your commitment, and go deeper with the Ruth Harbor team.
Becoming an Anchor Partner now means you'll be among the first to receive everything we're building. Your commitment this spring helps us get ready — for the moms coming through our doors, and for the community we're forming around them.
Invitation
A mom will come to us this month who has never experienced safety. Who has never had someone tell her she's worth fighting for. Who has never imagined her child could have a different kind of life than the one she's known.
She doesn't know about Anchor Partners. She doesn't know your name.
But if you say yes today, she will walk into a home that is funded, staffed, and ready — because you held steady.
"We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner place behind the curtain, where Jesus has gone as a forerunner on our behalf."
— Hebrews 6:19–20a (NKJV)
That's the hope we're inviting you to anchor.
Will you hold steady for her?
