THE WOMEN'S CENTER - Ongoing Request

We celebrate Father’s Day during June. Many fathers feel deep loss and sadness due to the abortion of their child. At the Women’s Center, we reduce the number of abortions by approximately 1,000 babies saved each year. We are able to do this because of the counseling, spiritual, and material help which you enable us to provide our mothers and fathers.

SEEKING DONATIONS: We are in need of 5 infant car seat/carriers, also 4 car seats for 20-40 lbs. (by law all car seats must be less than 7 years old), 4 exersaucers, 3 baby carriers (front and back), 5 strollers, 2 double strollers, 4 umbrella strollers and 3 high chairs.

For our address where you can deliver these things, or if a pick-up by a volunteer is needed, please call at 773-794-1313.
