Ruth Matthews Bourger Women with Children Program
The Ruth Matthews Bourger Women with Children Program invites you to join us in celebrating our 25th year at Misericordia University with participation in our annual Virtual Holiday Tea.
Support for our program ensures that we will continue to serve our communities' most vulnerable women and children. Then, during this holiday season, and in the spirit of Sister Catherine McAuley, may you enjoy a comfortable cup of tea while reflecting on how impactful your support is in truly changing our families' lives for the better.
The Women with Children Program invites you to participate in our mission of empowering single mothers through educational achievement and personal growth, working toward future professional success only a college degree can provide.
Through the gift of free housing, financial assistance, access to quality child care and an array of social, academic and family enrichment programming, Women with Children provides a comprehensive response to the needs of our families. Our students arrive ready to accept the challenge, demonstrate the courage to dedicate themselves to their educational goals, and ultimately, depart from Misericordia University a college graduate, ready to make an impact as a valiant woman, a Mulier Fortis!
