Our Mission
Peacock is a nonprofit organization based in Bryan/College Station that empowers single mothers and their children by providing Christian support and shelter, enabling a self-sustaining and hope-filled future. We are dedicated to supporting mothers by offering a 24-month developmental program, transitional housing along with essential life-skills training, a spiritual community and one-on-one advocacy. Our mission is to empower mothers and their children by providing them with stability and the tools to become self-sufficient.
We also offer our program to non-residential single-moms who have safe and secure housing elsewhere. Moms and children can still be embraced by the love, direction and support of the Peacock Program. Lastly, we have designed a ministry program for local churches to help local single-moms through a weekly support group (Empower).
Everyone has experienced the sensation of being overwhelmed, to the point where even the smallest task seems insurmountable. For a single mom, this drowning sensation can easily become a day-to-day part of life between balancing parenting, providing for her family, and taking care of herself. At Peacock, our goal is to help single mothers out of that deep pool of stress and allow them to focus on their future, one step at a time.
On average, single-mother homes spend over 50% of their income on housing. We alleviate this budgetary constraint by providing single mothers with homes and a chance to focus and plan for the future. Single moms in our program are paired up with mentors, who help them develop a plan and make steps forward to reach healing and self-sustainment. The program teaches necessary life skills, including personal and spiritual development, vocational training, interpersonal skills, community involvement, financial planning, and independent living skills. Peacock is the only organization in the BCS area that addresses the needs of single mothers in this way.
