Mom's House is a non-profit, state-licensed day care center providing free services to single parents who attend school full time. Mom’s House was established in Johnstown in 1983 to offer young women faced with unplanned pregnancies a realistic alternative to the despair of abortion and the tragedy of welfare. Peg Luksik designed and started the Mom’s House program to give single parents the greatest chance of success. She felt that these parents should be urged to continue their education past high school to a level where they are fully employable. Mom’s House opened in Phoenixville in 1987, and is now one of thirteen in the corporate system throughout Pennsylvania, New York, Delaware, Florida and Ohio. A local volunteer Board of Directors governs each subsidiary. The subsidiaries are autonomous in managing their programs, within the umbrella of the Bylaws and Operations Manual provided by Mom’s House, Inc., Parent Corporation. phx_momshouse@verizon.netMom's House of Greater Philadelphia
