Surf's Up
Will Allen found a unique way to use his God-given talents to bless women negotiating crisis pregnancies. On labor day, he gave surfing lessons and generously donated his fee to the Center! We are so grateful for his generosity and creativity.
Showers of Blessing
Several local churches hosted baby showers and diaper drives to benefit the Center in 2022. These churches have been an active partners to the Center, and these events are just the latest demonstration of their compassion for pregnant mothers in need. We are so blessed to have the generous support of local churches in our community!
Holy Trinity Church organized a baby shower and collected many baby necessities for the Center's clients. Pictured: Linda Goy and Patty Winkler from the church.
Volunteers Linda Goy, Maureen Lull, and Kathy Thorpe (pictured) hosted a baby shower at Oceanside Christian Fellowship church. Generous donors gave baby items including clothes, diapers, and strollers.
On October 15th, St. Matthew Orthodox Christian Church graciously organized a community baby shower to bless the Center's clients. They collected donations of new, unopened baby items.
On July 22nd, Hope for Life, the pro-life ministry in Hope Chapel, held a baby shower for the Center's clients. Pictured: Debi Bryant, Gigi Harnden, Anita Laney, Nardeen, and Snow Holland.
Knights in Shining Armor
In true knightly fashion, the chivalrous Knights of Columbus Council #1990 organized a Fish Fry on March 11th and donated the proceeds to the Pregnancy Help Center. They also donated an additional $500 to help cover the cost of ultrasound training for one volunteer nurse. The Center is so blessed and grateful for the Knights' generous support!
Next Generation of Pro-Lifers
These enterprising kids prove that age is just a number when it comes to making a difference:
A teenage donor, and Walk for Life regular, made a generous gift of $500 to the Center. He raised the remarkable sum after his German Shepherd had puppies and the family decided to adopt them out. He generously chose to give the money earned back to God by donating to the Pregnancy Help Center, one of his favorite nonprofits.
Three siblings, Norah, Matthew, and Judah, raised $400 for the Center by running a 5K hosted by their homeschool co-op . According to Norah, they chose to support the Pregnancy Help Center because, “We want to use our physical abilities to help others see how God loves and treasures babies in their mother's womb, and how precious that life is to Him.”
