Have you ever visited your local PRC? It’s likely that you have one nearby.You can
find the closest PRC by simply entering your zip code here www.OptionLine.org.
PRCS are mostly led by women, who often volunteer their time to provide much
needed resources for pregnant women and moms in need.
There are countless ways that you can lend a hand to your local PRC and thus the
women and babies in need of support in your community. A few years ago, Live
Action put together this helpful list of “10 helpful ways to support a Pregnancy
Resource Center.”
One way you can serve moms, pregnant women, and babies in your
community is by throwing a baby shower for your local PRC. This is a great
way to show support for your PRC, provide much-needed resources for the
center, show love and support for women facing an unexpected pregnancy, and
spread the word about your local PRC’s work to friends and neighbors. We have
provided step-by-step suggestions on how to host a shower for your local PRC:
1. Contact your local PRC and determine if they have any specific needs.
2. Gather a group of friends to assist with the Baby Shower.
3. Determine a location, perhaps a local church, community center, your home,
or even the PRC you will be supporting.
4. Gather your gifts – from diapers to gently-used baby clothes. You could even
find a local business who could support a more expensive gift such as a crib or
car seat.
5. Invite friends, neighbors, and anyone who wants to help women and babies!
If you work closely with the PRC, you may even invite some of the women they
are serving.
