A ministry of care, compassion and pampering!

We understand that the days following childbirth are filled with physical healing, sleeplessness, and a lot of adjusting. Even with the best support system, this can be a trying period in a woman’s life. Many of the clients at Options simply don’t have this support.

Post-partum packaged are custom-created to help ease this process. A beautiful basket filled with items to pamper a new mom, sanitary/hygiene items, gifts for new baby, as well as home-cooked meals and snacks.

Our Secret Service team is made up of individuals from partnering churches (Church21, Resurgent) with a desire to share God’s love through practical and essential care outside the standard services received at Options. The SS team may help with projects such as helping a single mum with a move, cleaning and organizing a home due to post-partum, depression, painting and so much more. Critical care is offered, as well as practical skills as the individual (receiving care) is encouraged to be a part of the process.
