65 Golfers and another 17 dinner guests gathered in support of the moms and babies residing at The Zechariah House on Monday, June 16 for a beautiful day of golf at Fowler’s Mill golf course in Chesterland. The 2nd Annual Maggie’s Place Golf Scramble was held to support the continued operation of The Zechariah House, a non-profit hospitality home for pregnant women located in Parma.

Maggie’s Place is a community of hospitality homes in two states (OH & AZ) for expectant women who may have no place to live during their pregnancy. Maggie’s Place provides safe housing, nourishing food, clothing, counseling, parenting preparation, employment readiness, and educational opportunities for pregnant women who may be alone, on the streets, or facing other difficult life circumstances. Women must be at least 18 years of age, non-drug using, and pregnant to be admitted, and may stay up to six months after their child’s birth.

This is the second annual golf scramble for Maggie’s Place Ohio, and was supported by numerous Northeast Ohio companies including Garland Industries, T1Co, Easton Telecom Services, Pearl Travel, Express Link and Salem Communications. The Zechariah House, which can house up to nine homeless pregnant women at a time, helps young, expectant mothers with important life skills such as parenting classes, completing a GED, job training, or attending college classes with the help of Maggie’s Place scholarships.
