Help Pregnant Women/Girls in Need of Support

Save to Favorites

Make a difference in the life of a young woman or a family facing an unexpected pregnancy and parents struggling to care for their babies and toddlers. We conduct pregnancy tests, counsel women as to their options, guide them towards local support services, lend a friendly ear to their problems, and hand out baby clothing, wipes, diapers and more, for up to approximately two years. Expecting moms receive a full layette (all necessary newborn supplies) in the eighth month. This is all offered in a friendly, non-judgmental manner, and all services are free and confidential. There are no qualifications necessary to obtain services.

Tasks include taking phone calls to obtain information from clients, gathering clothes, diapers, etc. to put together orders for clients to pick up, sorting and folding donated clothing, changing out seasonal clothing, putting together layettes for new moms. We can also use people skilled on the computer to do some general tasks, too. Nothing too strenuous physically at all. Minimum of two 3 hour shifts per month is required.

Volunteers can choose to do tasks which do not require interaction with clients. We have plenty to do "behind the scenes". This requires coming in during the hours we are open but no training is necessary. For this summer, we are open 11-4 Tuesdays and Thursdays.

If you wish to work with clients there is some training involved and a background check is required (fee paid by Birthright. Trained volunteers may choose the time and day they wish to be available in the office for clients including evenings and weekends.

At this time we really need volunteers as we are busier than ever and our volunteer base has dropped since COVID.
