Overview
Mission
Network of trained volunteers standing together in their commitment to offer assistance to pregnant women and families facing crisis pregnancies and to promote recognition of the dignity and sanctity of human life beginning at conception.
What it reported doing in 2024
The gabriel project serves families who lack the financial resources and emotional support to provide for a new baby. Items such as secure car seats, safe cribs, diapers, formula, clothing and hygiene products are provided at no cost. Direct financial support when appropriate in terms of rent and similar is provided without charge. The gabriel project also recruits, trains, and empowers a growing network of church partners to serve pregnant mothers during and after birth through presence and relationships. These churchs form angel friend teams who provide longterm, inperson, practical, emotional, and spiritual support for pregnant mothers.
