From rural beginnings as a small maternity home in the village of Symerton, Illinois, in 1984, the Lamb's Fold program has experienced steady growth.

In 1991, Christian Family Ministries was asked to take over the operations of the Lamb's Fold.  Soon, the organization grew dramatically to double its capacity by adding a second home for mothers of infants.

Seeing the need for dedicated housing services for all homeless women, in 1995 we moved to 153 S. Ottawa Street in Joliet to a former school building.  This larger building enabled the Lamb's Fold to become transitional housing for homeless women, pregnant or not, with or without young children.

Please take an opportunity to get to know us better by accessing the pages about our Board of Directors, Advisory Board of Directors, and Key Staff. Volunteers are an essential part of our organization and are always needed. Please visit the Volunteer section for more information.

Your interest and support of Lamb's Fold is greatly appreciated!
