Michael House


Since The Michael House opened its door in March of 2007, we have been blessed to serve many moms and their children in the West Valley.

The Michael House currently has 2 pregnant moms and 3 babies! We currently have a full house! Some of our moms are working on educational goals, while others are diligently job searching. Please keep them in your prayers as this is a tough endeavor right now. We are very proud of our moms!

How can you continue to support the Michael House?

We're always looking for more volunteers and donors, especially from individuals, parishes, and organizations in Glendale and on the west side of the Valley. We are especially in need of level 2 volunteers that can provide house coverage on days when the staff members have meetings!

  • Our current needs list
  • Interested in volunteering? Please call or e-mail Andrea, our Director of Volunteers (info below) for information about the many opportunities to assist in our efforts (providing house coverage, cooking meals, cleaning, gardening, sorting donations, baby-sitting, etc.) and for the dates of the next Volunteer Orientation!
  • Attend Work Saturday - the 4th Saturday of every month from 9-11 pm. This is a great opportunity for volunteers of all ages and abilities to volunteer alongside the moms and staff of Michael House, completing various projects around the house.

    Our next Work Saturday will be Saturday, February 25th from 9am-12pm. Please join us! We would love to have you!

    We hope you can join us in making our house beautiful!

    As always, we appreciate all of the wonderful support that keeps our home so beautiful.
