Transforming challenging pasts into beautiful futures.

Thistle Hills offers women support, love, and resources to transform their lives and become part of the fabric of our community.

 

Our Story

Inspired by the profound impact of Thistle Farms (our sister organization) in Nashville, Tennessee, we saw a similar opportunity right here in Coatesville, PA—to serve the women who need our help the most.
