Christmas Wishes Fulfilled

mattregister — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 22:03:50 +0000

Over 50 PACN client-families had Christmas wishes come true thanks to The Woodlands United Methodist Church, Mike Shine, and several anonymous businesses and individuals.

Children and parents were blessed with an abundance of gifts and food. Mr. Shine donated twenty-seven new bikes and trikes as an added bonus to the wish lists.

One of the families who received Christmas help this year were grandparents who are raising their grandchildren. Along with numerous gifts and food for the whole family, the anonymous donating business is also helping with some medical needs.

PACN staff and volunteers love to see the excitement of the clients as they experience God’s love for them shown through the caring members of our community.

We Love Our Volunteers

mattregister — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 22:00:49 +0000

One of the ways PACN can operate with a small staff is due to our wonderful 100+ volunteers who work at PACN on a weekly basis. We have many volunteer opportunities available.

PACN conducts three trainings each year for women and men who want to volunteer as a Peer Counselor. A Peer Counselor meets with women, men and families experiencing unintended pregnancies. Those who come to PACN looking for help are often frightened and unsure of what to do. A Volunteer Peer Counselor offers acceptance, someone to talk to, hope, assistance and resources to help them during their pregnancy; having a positive impact on their lives both now and eternally.

It is proven that volunteering is good for your health. Volunteers enjoy longer lives, have higher functional ability and have lower rates of depression and heart disease.

When you volunteer at PACN, we win and you win!

*The dates of our volunteer training seminars for 2008 are on our training calendar.

Change for Life

/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/baby_bottle.jpg’ title=’Baby Bottle Campaign’>/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/baby_bottle.jpg’ alt=’Baby Bottle Campaign’ align=”left”/>To counter the Roe v Wade decision on January 22, 1973 that legalized abortions, President Reagan declared the Sunday closest to that date as Sanctity of Human Life (SOHL) Sunday.

This year PACN celebrated SOHL in two ways:

Participating churches engaged in a “Change for Life” baby bottle campaign. PACN delivered baby bottles to the churches for their church families to take home and fill and refill with change, bills and/or checks. It is a great way for the whole family to get involved.

*There will be another opportunity to participate in “Change for Life” during our Mother’s and Father’s Day campaign.

The Campaign runs from May 11 through June 15. The bottle you receive is yours to fill and refill during the campaign. Cal 936-441-7755 or email pacn@pacn.org regarding questions about the campaign.
