Mary Ellen’s Hearth is the new ministry at the Nellie Burge Community Center. Since 1904, Nellie Burge has a rich history of providing help and services to needy women and children of the Montgomery area through various ministries and programs. Mary Ellen’s Hearth will continue this tradition by providing homeless women with children a place to call home while helping them learn vital life skills that they need to provide for themselves when they leave. Families can stay for up to 24 months.
