Hannah Center

Mission: Help women in distress due to a crisis pregnancy.  We welcome women in need without judgment or prejudice; we will seek to meet their emotional, social, physical, and spiritual needs, so they can give birth to their child and reach their full potential.

We are totally supported by contributions from individuals and organizations that want to reach out to women.  Fund-raisers supply nearly one-half of our annual budget, while one-time gifts and monthly pledges allow us to continue operating, while reminding us of our strong community support.

Need: Everyone welcome, but we have a special need for members with passion and talent for fund-raising
