Step by Step
Founded in 1995, they are a holistic program working to empower young single moms ages 12 to 24. Our moms come from every walk of life and they all want the same thing: for themselves and their children to be safe, to be heard, seen, valued, and to be great moms.
They offer support, mentoring, goal-setting, crisis intervention, and walk alongside young single moms and their kids as they succeed.

A Caring Place
Our non-profit, A Caring Place, is extending the hand of friendship to referred participants through phone calls, home visits, and group socialization.
Loneliness is a quiet health epidemic, impacting your heart, brain, soul and very life; 40% of the Lexington community have experienced persistent loneliness suggest organizations devoted to the elderly (i.e. AARP) Similar to pain, it is a subjective symptom, not an observable sign. However, we can identify groups who are at risk for loneliness: the recently bereaved, the socially isolated, the severely disabled, and the elderly who have suffered multiple losses.
There is no magic cure, or pill, although many who experience loneliness wish so. The only intervention known to help is having a quality relationship with at least one other person.
