Our Mission

Toby’s House embraces pregnant women in crisis, providing a safe, supportive home for them and their young children. We do this by promoting vocational and spiritual advancement through counseling, education, prayer and a life-based value system that empowers them to become confident, contributing community members.

About Toby's House

Toby’s House is a maternity shelter for homeless, pregnant women and their children under the age of five years old. Founded in 1998 by Kathleen Eaton, we are one of the only shelters in Orange County, CA that serves both pregnant women and pregnant women with other children. Toby’s House is a non-denominational, Christian organization dedicated to serving women in need of housing. Toby’s House is a fifteen bed facility that operates two single-family homes at various locations throughout Orange County, CA.

Residents are allowed to live free for the first 30-days while they seek employment, enroll in school or complete job training. We are a work-based program, and we believe in providing our clients with all the tools necessary to reach self-sufficiency. With financial, emotional and spiritual assistance, our residents are able to reconstruct their lives and heal. Our expectant mothers receive prenatal care, birthing education, breastfeeding support, and baby items such as car seats, diapers, and bottles as needed. Our program offers life skills education classes daily to residents who learn parenting, cooking, budgeting, and job seeking skills that are critical to their success. But Toby’s House goes beyond meeting the physical needs of our residents. Our program also includes Bible study, one-on-one counseling, and Domestic Violence group therapy.

Toby’s House is funded through private and church donations, corporate and family foundation grants, and fundraising events.
