At Good Counsel, every season brings new reasons to celebrate the gift of life — and this Halloween, our four maternity homes were full of laughter, costumes, and the kind of joy that only family can bring.

Some of our moms stayed in to hand out candy to neighborhood trick-or-treaters, delighting in the excitement of little superheroes and princesses at their doors. Others dressed up with their babies — tiny kittens, Spidermen, and Bluey in tow — and went trick-or-treating together in nearby communities, creating memories they’ll cherish for years. One of our homes even enjoyed a full fall outing to the pumpkin patch, complete with hayrides, apple cider, and plenty of giggles.

Back at home, another group hosted a Halloween costume party featuring a delicious meal, spooky treats, and lots of photo-worthy moments. Between the laughter, the music, and the love shared among the moms and staff, it was more than a celebration — it was a reminder of what Good Counsel is truly about.

We support women in countless ways: through counseling, education, and safe shelter. But it’s in these everyday moments of joy — the pumpkin carving, the shared meals, the laughter echoing through the halls — that the soul-stirring work happens. These women aren’t just residents; they’re family.

You can help keep that love and support going. Just $40 a month provides food, diapers, and essentials for a mother and her child as they rebuild their lives.
