Our History
Our organization, founded by Lois Weidner, began in 1997 as Tri-City Life Center, Inc. with a small office in New Kensington. We started by supporting young pregnant women who were facing unplanned pregnancies. Our staff helped them work through issues such as unsupportive partners, pressure from family members, and uncertainty about the future.
We later began doing business as TryLife Center as we expanded into our current building on Wildlife Lodge Road. This space enables us to provide vast material assistance to our clients. We also expanded our reach, serving both moms and dads with children up to three years of age. In 2018, we added limited medical services.
In 2023, the Board of Directors decided to revitalize to better position the organization for a sustainable future. We restructured into a parent organization (FamilyLife Network, Inc.) with our programs separated out underneath the umbrella of the parent organization. This structure will not only allow for more autonomy within our programs, it will enable us to grow and add new programs in the future! Click here to read a FAQ about the revitalization process.
FamilyLife Network (formerly Tri-City Life Center, Inc.) is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. Updating our name with government entities takes time, and you may temporarily still see us show up as Tri-City Life Center, Inc. on certain documents or websites.

Connect with us
We’ve gone digital… In an effort to direct more of our limited funds to our clients and their needs, we reduced the frequency of our mailings. We no longer mail event invitations and we now send our print newsletter only twice per year.
Want to stay updated on our latest news and receive invitations to our events? Sign up for our e-newsletter below!
As always, FamilyLife Network, Inc. respects your right to privacy and will never share or sell your information.
Past Print Newsletters
In an effort to direct more of our limited funds to our clients and their needs, we phased out mailing printed invitations to our events. Emailing our supporters costs us only 10% of printing/mailing expenses, which means our clients will benefit from an extra few thousand dollars a year that is directed into our programs.
