I volunteer Monday mornings at Sav-A-Life/Pregnancy center in Pelham AL. I am privileged to meet many women who are looking for someone to listen to and care about them. Life changing decisions are made, sometimes a women will decide to carry her baby who had other thoughts prior to coming in. Some women decide to make a change in their lives and will accept Christ at the center. What could be better than saving babies and bringing women to Christ. I am so blessed to be a part of this ministry.
Sav-A-Life Shelby is a compassionate, professional, Christian organization which shows the love of Jesus to all who enter their door. A Spanish speaking counselor is available.
All services are free and confidential.
Sav-A-Life Shelby is a wonderful opportunity for ministry, meeting the needs of young women who come in and requesting pregnancy tests and sonograms of their precious babies and perhaps needing referrals to other organizations.
During a mother's pregnancy, Sav-A-Life Shelby offers opportunities for parenting classes and camaraderie with other young mothers through their Earn-While-You learn program. A meal is provided as well as free baby sitting the evenings they attend the program.
As mothers attend the classes, they earn "Mommy Bucks" they can spend in the Boutique for items they will need for their babies when they are born, as well as items for small children under 2. There is clothing, diapers, baby food, layette items as well as items like car seats.
My husband and I retired back to Birmingham after 35 years, and I have been a volunteer at Sav-A-Life Shelby for over three years and was a volunteer for a Pregnancy Center in Brandon Florida for many years. It is such a blessing to be a part of this ministry. We go to minister to these young women, and we get ministered to.
Being a non-profit organization, Sav-A-Life Shelby depends on contributions from individuals, organizations and churches in the Birmingham Area. If The Lord is leading you to be a partner -- either as a contributor or a volunteer, I encourage you to consider Sav-A-Life Shelby.
If you are looking for a place to serve others, Sav-A-Life Shelby is a compassionate and caring ministry.
The staff and volunteers are a blessing to clients as well as to one another.
