Our Mission

Five Sparrows is a two-year program for women who are survivors of addiction, abuse, sexual exploitation, and poverty.

Unlike many recovery programs, Five Sparrows is completely free to the women we serve. Through the generosity of donors, churches, businesses, and community partners, we remove financial barriers so women can focus on healing, growth, and lasting transformation.

Why we exist
