The Lifting Lives program is a unique program at JMJ Pregnancy Center to provide support to families facing difficulties during and after pregnancy. The program is designed to provide unconditional love and support and give families hope in the light of darkness. Lifting Lives is a holistic approach to supporting the needs of the family consisting of 4 pillars.
Material support
For those mothers and families in need, we can help support them with items that are essential for the care of a newborn. We also may have limited donated maternity clothing available for expectant mothers in need. Everything we give out comes from donations from the local community and everyone is encouraged to bring items back once their baby grows out of them. We are a network of families helping families.

Resource Counseling
With each visit, please take a look at our resource list. Since each family’s needs are different, if you would like to sit with an advisor to talk about your situation and what you need, we would love to do that with you. We can help you set goals and find local resources that can help you achieve those goals. Most families are unaware of the wonderful resources that we have in this community and it is usually a matter of taking the time to research and get them in contact with the right people. We have many connections with organizations that help you with things like job searching, budgeting, escaping abuse, childcare assistance, career counseling, post-abortion recovery and much more.

In-house classes
As we have grown, we have found a need for individual and group classes to help families that visit us. Please call your local center to find more information about when classes are being offered. We are developing more programs based on the needs we see in our centers and we are always looking for people willing to donate time to teach/mentor our families.

Professional services
We also have professionals that volunteer services for our clients. We have had licensed mental health counselors, doctors, attorneys, midwives, business owners, etc. that volunteer their services to help our clients in many ways. If you have a situation that may require the help of a professional, we will help connect you with people that we know and trust.
