Its programs include adoption services through Bridges of Kentuckiana, domestic violence transitional and rapid rehousing, a women and children emergency shelter, a maternity home program, affordable supportive housing, a community distribution program called Marie's Blessings, and school counseling. The agency's stated aim is to help individuals and families reach empowerment and self-sufficiency.

The New Albany office on East Market Street is open weekdays, with shorter hours on Fridays. Marie's Blessings distributes assistance on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on East 7th Street in New Albany. Adoption services are handled by appointment at the Louisville office, and the agency also runs a 24-hour pregnancy support hotline. Donations, wish lists, and a spring raffle help support the work.
