Overview
Mission
Our mission is to provide holistic, compassionate care to individuals facing unexpected and under-supported pregnancies. We do this by: offering free first trimester **medical** support for women in need,. Every life valued, every pregnancy supported. PSS began with a simple belief: that no woman should face an unplanned pregnancy alone. Over the past four decades, we’ve grown into a vibrant nonprofit supported by volunteers, churches, and community partners. Today, we provide medical, material, emotional, and spiritual care—all free and confidential—because we believe that abundant life is possible, even in unexpected circumstances. Meet the Team.

Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 99% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
- Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
