Saint Martha’s is base camp when you’re climbing Everest.
Saint Martha’s is a St. Louis nonprofit program that provides shelter, resources, and compassionate care for women and children experiencing domestic violence. Since opening on May 1, 1983, we’ve helped over 7,000 women and their children safely leave their abusers and reclaim their lives.

Mission
Saint Martha’s breaks the cycle of violence for women who have been abused by providing a safe haven and resources to empower women to live violence-free lives, guided by the social justice teachings of Jesus Christ.
Vision
Peace and safety for all women and children.
Values
How We Help
Saint Martha’s provides women in crisis—and their children—the services they need, without judgment, no matter the circumstances.
She Served. So We Serve.
A devoted friend of Jesus, Saint Martha expressed her faith through service. We follow in her footsteps, serving women and children impacted by domestic violence since 1983.
