“The SON is the radiance of God’s glory…” Hebrews 1:3.

Join us for our annual fundraising event. It will be an evening filled with entertainment, silent auction, food, beverages and most importantly… love!

Let's give hope to teen moms who need a safe and loving place to call home.

Welcome to Love & SONshine

We provide a safe haven in Billings for pregnant teens & young moms in need

We seek to make a difference in as many young lives as possible, to a leave a lasting legacy, and to break the cycle of poverty by giving young mothers necessary skills to be empowered to aspire and achieve more.

The Need is Staggering

Only 24 out of 1300 shelter beds are for pregnant/parenting youth.

4887 at-risk or homeless pregnant/parenting youth across Montana.

20% of homeless young women will become pregnant.

50% of pregnant/parenting teens graduate from highschool.

The Why Behind Love and SONshine

The stats we list are a sobering reminder that we have much work to do to make sure our youngest lives have the best start possible.

Safe housing is paramount in breaking the cycle of poverty.
Offering a loving and nurturing environment, while teaching basic life skills will offer these young mom’s refuge, dignity and hope.
Being surrounded by the love of a family, we can model a new perspective on a healthy home while also sharing the gospel message of Jesus Christ.
Self sufficiency will empower moms and give them confidence to succeed.
