Let your mind Wander! 


Bounce your ideas around at home and talk with your youth group leader.  Your ideas are welcome or you can help with stuff that needs doing all the time (you know, like cleaning your room!)

Nathan organized a variety show and raised over $600 to sponsor the ministry of saving lives at PRC… She loves computer art, she loves babies, so she designed bumper stickers and sold them, sending PRC a check for almost $300… Her heart was already tender, so for her 13th birthday, a request went out, “Bring baby gifts to give to PRC!” Rachel stuffed 3,000 envelopes to let the community know about PRC’s Steps for Life walk-a-thon…She hosted a fashion show and auctioned prom dresses for life!

 Oh, Baby!

  • ASSEMBLE LAYETTES:  Put together packages of much-needed baby things – these ‘layettes’ are given to clients for newborn babies
    KNIT BOOTIES or Make Receiving Blankets:  The things you make will keep tiny babies warm.
  • WRAP BOOTIES:  Pretty packages make everyone happy and make giving them especially cool.
  • TOY POLICE:  Regularly clean and inspect toys which are in the center's reception area toy box and also any which may be donated to clients.

 

Chores (you know what those are…)

  • WASH FURNITURE:  Regularly clean donated baby furniture in preparation for disbursing to clients.
  • CLEAN:  As needed, help us keep the center attractive and comfy for our clients and community
                   (that means you too).
  • WASH WINDOWS:  A little Windex, a couple paper towels, and hey, things look pretty good!
  • Practice for your future!

  • SORT INCOMING DONATIONS:  A pacifier isn’t really a piece of furniture and that maternity shirt won’t fit a newborn…
  • MEND/WASH CLOTHES:  Clean and/or make minor repairs to donated baby and maternity clothes on an on-going basis.  Pick up and deliver clothes to the center nearest your home.
  • PRESS MATERNITY CLOTHES:  Iron and hang laundered maternity clothes for our Expectantly Yours room.
  •  

A little fresh air is good for you!

  • WEED FLOWER BEDS:  Keep in mind the parable of the wheat and the tares!
  • CLEAN OUTSIDE THE CENTER:  Generally spruce up the outside appearance of the center.
  • WATER PLANTS:  Come in 2 or 3 times a week to water indoor and outdoor plants.
  • RAKE LEAVES:  You can guess this is rather seasonal.

 

Get the word out!

  • PRAYER SUPPORT:  You can join our email prayer support team.  Set aside time to get the word out to God for PRC's various ministries in the community.  This includes emotional and practical support to clients, abstinence outreach, and HEART ministry.
  • MAKE PHOTOCOPIES/ PUT TOGETHER PACKETS:  There is so much people need to know about PRC and how we can help with a crisis pregnancy, past abortion, and standing for purity.
  • MAILING TEAM:  Join the mailing team to sort, label, and staple special mailings.  Two or three-hour commitment several times per year, you can come to our Headquarters office, isn’t that special!
  • STAMP BROCHURES:  Stamp brochures which we use for our clients and the community with the center's name, address and phone number.

Most high school students have community service requirements… PRC is glad to have you helping us while we help you to get graduated!   You can call one of our five centers near you, or call our headquarters to give a little time, or a lot of time.

But Seriously

We (PRC) exist to empower women and men (your age included) to make life-affirming decisions regarding pregnancy through counseling, education, compassionate care, and the truths of the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ
You’ve known someone who was dealing with pregnancy, please, next time tell them about PRC.
