Description

We are hosting our annual fundraising banquet on June 6, 2024.  1st Way Life Center has been working to support women and families experiencing unexpected pregnancies since 1978. Just last year we served over 340 families in our area by providing free material and emotional support. Our clients are able to get free diapers, wipes, formula, baby food, gently used and new baby and maternity clothing, as well as additional necessities such as cribs, car seats, breast pumps, etc.  We also offer pregnancy, parenting, and financial courses, a Mom's Support Group, and peer-to-peer counseling - all at no charge to our clients.  Our second center is a medical clinic where our medical staff provides free pregnancy testing, STD testing, limited OB ultrasounds, and options information.  Since we are solely funded by private donations and community grants, a successful fundraiser is vital for us to be able to continue offering these invaluable resources at no cost. We hope that you will consider donating items that we can raffle/auction at our event.
