Respect Life:

Dear Friends,

As we step into 2023, with the hope and promise of all that the new year holds, we know that this upcoming year will bring with it the challenge of unexpected pregnancies for women in our community. Challenges, but also joys, when those women are well-supported by those around them. It is our privilege to serve that role for those who need us!

We are blessed to be able to continue our partnership with the Marin Pregnancy Clinic as we serve these families. We've got four babies coming our way in these winter months, with many needs that we can meet - take a look at our shopping list to see where you can help!

We have two babies coming our way in early March - the shopping lists are posted below. We are asking for all donations for these babies to be delivered no later than February 15. Delivery address is posted on both shopping lists - please follow the links below!

Thank you so much to those of you who contribute financially to this project. It allows us room for creativity when it's needed, to truly support the needs of the families we serve.
