Marisol Women's Services

Marisol Women's Services is a comprehensive health, housing and human services network built by Catholic Charities to meet the urgent and ongoing needs of women, men and families.

Marisol Women's Services is made up of a Marisol Homes location which provides safe and secure community-based housing for pregnant women and single women with children; 2 Marisol Health clinics providing supportive, qualified, life-affirming medical care for women and men; (plus a satellite office on the CU Boulder campus), and 13 Marisol Family locations assisting pregnant women and families with diaper needs through the Bottom Line Diaper Bank and other supportive services.

• Marisol Homes serves single expectant mothers, single women and single women with children, who are experiencing homelessness. Our staff work with women and families as they integrate back into the community. Here, families and expectant women receive more than a safe place. They receive services, and the support needed to rebuild their lives. *Eligible for up to 50% tax credit with a donation of $300+ to the Child Care Contribution Tax Credit.

• Marisol Health Centers are licensed medical centers offering free or low-cost options for testing and treatment for sexually transmitted infections, pregnancy tests, comprehensive ultrasounds, prenatal care, delivery and confidential counseling. Physician and resource referrals assist women, particularhose vulnerable to abortion, in making healthy and informed decisions regarding their reproductive health.

• Marisol Family is a network of 13 locations throughout northern Colorado to help pregnant women and families with young children in need of material and community services. We provide diapers, wipes, baby formula, baby food, infant and children's clothes and other items for families in need. We also provide referrals for housing, medical, employment, education and parenting programs.

THE IMPACT OF YOUR GIFT:

Jennifer Gonzales has been coming to Marisol Family for almost a year and says the program has been a real lifesaver.

Before she found Marisol Family, the mother of three says she couldn’t always afford to buy diapers for her little ones.“Sometimes we had to choose between diapers and milk.”

Marisol Family has reduced the financial strain on her family and is making a huge impact on their lives. Beyond the importance of the material items she receives, she says the kindness and support from Marisol Family staff and volunteers makes a world of difference.

“They treat us really well. They’re kind and helpful and super nice to my children and me.” Jennifer wants everyone to know how grateful she is for the support she receives at Marisol Family. She says it goes beyond diapers and wipes.

“Thank you so much for all the help!”
