For Noemi New Life Beginnings was the place she needed to steady her life and search for new possibilities. With her newborn, wrapped in a blanket of hope, and a revival of her old catering skills, Noemi began her New Life.

With her children beside her Noemi reached for hope. She learned we genuinely cared about her future and that of her children.  With a lot of hard work she began to rebuild her life.

When you partner with New Life Beginnings, together we change lives for generations.  It is empowerment from you poured into lives of the hopeless that allows successful story’s like the one of Noemi.

Today Noemi is self sufficient with tree healthy children running her own catering company in Los Angels.

Partner with New Life Beginnings, together we give hope to the hopeless.

NLB is primarily a volunteer-driven organization with only 10 paid staff and 15,216 volunteers generously donating 21,696 hours anually. Our community donates our food for the many pregnant women, infants and children we serve along with just about everything you see as you walk through our Mother’s home. Our Board members are committed and actively involved in the operation of all our programs.

Since our inception, we have never received government funding. Therefore our very existence and our ability to give quality service to homeless women and children, relies soley on the tax-deductible monetaru donations from individuals, organizations, businesses, special events, and direct mail requests are greatly appreciated.

Our residents find affordable housing very difficult to acquire, especially if they have an infant under their care. In 1992 we purchased a six-unity apartment building next to our Mothers Home. This facility enables us to expand our programs to women who have “graduated” from group housing. We call this our Next Step program.

Designed with supervision, our specialized Next Step Ptrogram empowers single mothers to build hope for their future as they learn to break free of the welfare cycle. This is possible as they continure their education and become job ready in our school-to-work program.

Since our inception, the demand for our services has increased. In an effort to meet this growing need we purchased the St. Anthony monastery at 835 E. 6th Street in Long Beach in 1999. Our housing capacity increaced to 20 plus women and children in a 25 bed facility. During 1999 and 2000 we have spent much of our time improving our program to meet the needs of our pregnant residents. Thanks to countless volunteers and generous monetary support, we continue to improve and upgrade this home which was built in 1955.
