PAST EVENTS

13th Annual Evening of Hope                                                                                                                                                                          

Thanks to the generosity of our donors and sponsor, over $260,000 was raised!  The highlight of the evening was guest speaker Kelly Lester.  She shared her painful and difficult experiences of being molested as a child, raped as a teen, having several abortions and hitting rock bottom which brought her to the Lord. Miraculously she is the mother of six, and she loves to share her story to give hope to the most desperate situations proving that God can save anybody.

38th Annual Walk For Life South Bay

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.
