We also have a pregnancy and parenting library.

Individualized Support

TryLife Center offers one-on-one support that is tailored to the needs of our clients:

Pregnancy support: pregnancy help and information, discussion about options, help figuring out how to share the news with family/friends, post-abortion support, and more!

Parenting support: parenting help and information, parenting support through different ages and stages, tips for developing healthy co-parenting relationships, and more!

Life skills support: assistance with developing a budget or plan for paying off debt, understanding complicated forms, building healthy habits, creating a healthy home environment, understanding proper nutrition, and more!

Referrals: help locating and connecting with other community resources to meet the needs of our clients that are outside of our scope (WIC, employment, housing, legal assistance, mental or behavioral health treatment, etc.)

Material Assistance

Because having a baby and raising a family is expensive, one in three families struggles with the cost of necessities such as diapers and wipes. It is challenging for these families to afford things like new car seats that meet safety standards. That’s where we can help.

Our store offers the following items at no cost to clients:

New cribs and crib mattresses
New car seats
Diapers and wipes
Formula and baby food
New and gently used clothing
Toys and books
Strollers and highchairs
Maternity clothing
Breast pumps and women’s sanitary items
And so much more!

Each item in our store has a “point” value. Clients earn “points” that are used to shop in our store area at no cost. Points are earned through participation in educational activities, one-on-one support services, support groups, or volunteering. Clients are able to choose how they earn points.

TLC Clinic

TLC Clinic currently provides free pregnancy testing and limited OB ultrasounds. Clients can also receive free educational and referral resources. TLC Clinic’s STD/STI testing and HIV/Hep C screening services are paused for now, but will be available again soon!

Disclaimer: TryLife Center and TLC clinic do not perform or refer for abortion procedures.
