Crisis Pregnancy Center Receives
Donation
Saint Philip Benizi Catholic Church
As part of its call to Stewardship and Outreach
to the local community, St. Philip Benizi Church makes a donation each year
to a local charity or organization. This year, the
Advice &
Aid Pregnancy Problem Center
in Hapeville was the recipient. Pictured at
left, St. Philip’s Pastor, Fr. Greg Hartmayer, presented Terry Gibbs
(Executive Director of the Center) with a check for $4,400.00. The
donation, Terry explained, will be used to help with client assistance, as
well as overall expenses incurred by the Center. “Our greatest need at the
moment is financial. This donation has been a tremendous blessing,” Terry
acknowledged with much gratitude.
Serving Clayton and Fulton
Counties, and South Atlanta, their Mission is explained as follows:
"Here at the Advice & Aid Pregnancy Problem Center, we are
dedicated to protecting the lives of unborn children. Through our
ministry, we provide a complete support system for pregnant women, birth
fathers, and families. Our services are free and we are a non-profit
organization supported solely by dedicated individuals and donors."
