Volunteer - Living Alternatives - Illinois & Indiana

Volunteer

Living Alternatives can only meet its mission to the extent that individuals in the community are willing to donate their time and energy to the functions of the ministry. Volunteers are caring people who are willing to listen to the needs of our clients and help them honestly explore their pregnancy options. Volunteers who are dedicated to their relationship with God are able to show the unconditional love that our clients crave. The beauty of the PRC ministry comes not only from promoting life-affirming options, but also from sacrificially being willing to walk beside her through her experience to the other side. Volunteers are equipped and trained by staff to work with the PRC clients, participate in fundraisers to strengthen the financial position of the center, and assist the ministry with maintaining the beauty and health of the building. All of these volunteers are important to the ministry of the Pregnancy Resource Center, Merci’s Refuge, and Birchwood Apartments. Their generous donation of time and love and energy is valued by Living Alternatives.
