About GPMH

At Georgia Peach Maternity Home, we believe that every mother deserves to be seen, supported, and surrounded by care — not just during pregnancy, but throughout her entire journey toward healing and wholeness. Founded to address the deep disparities in maternal health outcomes for Black women in Georgia, our home exists as a sanctuary: a safe, stable, and nurturing environment where first-time mothers can rest, rebuild, and reclaim their futures.

Rooted in the traditions of holistic healing and grounded in evidence-based care, Georgia Peach offers more than just housing — we offer community, dignity, and real support. From prenatal education and postpartum recovery to emotional wellness and life-skills coaching, our wraparound services are designed to meet the physical, spiritual, and emotional needs of each woman we serve. Whether navigating systemic barriers, generational trauma, or simply the realities of motherhood, our residents find in Georgia Peach a place to land, a place to grow, and a place to rise.

We are proudly based in Blackshear, Georgia — a quiet rural town where community still matters and healing can happen without distraction. Through intentional partnerships, ancestral practices, and a deep commitment to equity, Georgia Peach Maternity Home is reimagining what maternal care looks like in the South — starting one mother, one baby, and one home at a time.
