Hope Program
LC Center offers the HOPE (Helping Others Parent Effectively) program to pregnant clients throughout their pregnancy and the first year of the baby's life. The HOPE program gives moms resources to enhance their parenting abilities and provide for the physical needs of the child. The program is "earn while you learn" with clients earning "Mommy Money" to spend in the baby store at the center through various things like keeping doctor appointments, making budgets and meal plans, etc. Also, mentors are available to guide each new mom through the stages of the new baby's life. Formula, diapers, clothing, and other baby items like car seats and baby beds can be purchased through the baby store at the center. The HOPE store is supplied by community donations.
Each year, Life Choices hosts a "Baby's First Christmas" party where we celebrate all the lives born that year!
Material Assistance
Participants in our parenting programs can receive free baby supplies, including diapers, clothes, and other larger items like cribs and car seats. We love being able to support moms and families by helping provide essentials for the first few years. If you are pregnant or recently had a baby, contact us to learn more.
