Overview

Mission

The primary purpose of the corporation is based on its fundamental belief: the right of every pregnant woman to give birth in dignity and the right of every child to be born. The corporation maintains a pregnancy center where every person distressed by pregnancy receives humanitarian, educational, and charitable service and assistance requested free of charge, to the extent the corporation has the resources to provide them.

What it reported doing in 2025

Maintain a crisis center: to maintain a physical space where any pregnant girl or woman, wed or unwed, may find help as near as her telephone. By placing a call to or visiting the crisis center, she will be met with love and understanding, without judgement, aided to mobilize her own resources and those of the community so that she may face the future and plan constructively for herself and her child.
