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."
