"Congratulations to the Staff at Mother's Refuge and Director Robert Zornes on their 20th Anniversary. Through their dedication to this ministry, many young women have been able to experience a safe place to live and an opportunity to learn life-long practical skills. Thank you, Mother's Refuge."
Congressman Sam Graves, 6th District of Missouri
"Like too many Kansas Citians, I had not heard of Mother’s Refuge before a Request for Proposal brought the agency and the wonderful work that it does to my attention. This small, unassuming agency gives homeless, pregnant teenagers and their babies a home when they most need one, and then helps them assemble the building blocks for a brighter future as a family."
Rhonda Holman, Vice President
Health Care Foundation of Greater Kansas City
"Mother's Refuge is providing a safe place for young, displaced moms as they prepare to give birth to their babies. While their physical and medical needs are being met, they are attending school and learning practical life skills. After visiting the home, I can see that they are being equipped to one day live successfully on their own. Congratulations to Director Robert Zornes and his dedicated staff on their 20th anniversary. May God continue to bless them and all those who temporarily call Mother's Refuge their home."
Susan Phillips
Former MO State Representative
