200,000 diapers distributed last year… and it all started with people like YOU 💙

Because of generous support from our community, moms and dads in Grand Rapids received diapers for their little ones when they needed them most.✨

This July, we’re inviting YOU to help us reach families again by hosting a Diaper Drive! 🧷

Gather your friends, family, coworkers, church, or small group and collect diapers throughout the month of July to help stock our shelves for local families in need.🤩

Every diaper donated helps provide relief, support, and encouragement to parents in our community.☺️

We took time to focus on mental and emotional wellbeing with our volunteers and staff 🌿

Thank you to Michael Riffer for leading a Mental and Emotional Health Training for our volunteers and staff. We were grateful to have 29 team members join us for this insightful time of learning and reflection.

Michael shared practical tools for emotional wellness, including understanding personality types, making space for reflection, and the importance of unplugging from our phones to allow for deeper thinking and rest.✨
A meaningful reminder that when we care for our own mental and emotional health, we are better equipped to show up well for ourselves and for others.

Thank you to our volunteers and staff who participated and continue growing in caring for themselves so they can better care for others at AGR. 💚

✨Volunteer Shoutout✨

Cathy moved to Grand Rapids a little over four years ago. She has always had a heart for caring for women with young children and has completed many trainings outside of Alpha to better support them. This is what she shared: “I feel humbled to walk alongside these women as they share their stories and challenges. It is a blessing to love on
them and their children.” Cathy is amazing!!! 💜

DIAPER DASH 2026 is coming soon! 🎉

Which means we need YOUR help! Want to make a difference for local families? You can host a diaper drive with your friends, family, small group, church, or business!

Why host a diaper drive?
Many parents who come to AGR for support can only afford ONE diaper a day for their child. 💔
That’s why, with the help of our amazing community, we’re aiming to collect 100,000 diapers!
Every box, and diaper donated helps support moms, dads, and babies right here in our community. 💙

Sign up to host a diaper drive and make a BIG impact in the lives of parents and babies!🤩

The Fatherhood Bootcamp at Life Matters Conference 💪

Last week, AGR’s Men’s Center Director, Matt Haviland, co-led the Fatherhood Bootcamp alongside two other fatherhood leaders at the Life Matters Worldwide Summit, and it was a powerful reminder of why supporting dads matters so much.

For the FIRST time ever, the summit hosted an extended fatherhood training, equipping pregnancy centers from across the country with practical ways to better support men, fathers, and families. 👏
Topics included:
• Moving Past the Intake Form
• Options Counseling for Men
• Effective Fatherhood Groups
• Loving the Men in Your Center
• Recruiting and Training Male Volunteers
• Panel with AGR dads
• Father-Friendly Branding

One of the most impactful moments was hearing directly from AGR dads during the live panel. They courageously shared their stories, challenges, growth, and the ways AGR walked alongside them through it all. 💙

At AGR, we believe fathers matter, families matter, and every parent deserves support, encouragement, and hope.

Way to go, Matt, and thank you to the dads who shared your journeys so openly! 👏

Summer is here! ☀️

To celebrate the beginning of summer, our Educational Services team took a moment to celebrate the incredible moms in our Single Moms Support Group, Language Café, English as a Second Language, and GED programs. They shared a delicious meal together, and AGR moms received beautiful and colorful flowers💐

We hope these flowers are a reminder that you are all seen, loved, appreciated, and encouraged. 💕

April brought the rain, and SO much growth at AGR ☔💙

Here’s a look back at some of the sweet moments, exciting progress, and community support we experienced in April:

👏 Parents grew and learned through Parenting Class, Pregnancy Education, and Breastfeeding Education classes. We’re so proud of every parent investing in themselves and their families!

🚲 Thanks to Upcycle Bikes, an AGR mom and her daughter received two bikes to help them get around the city this spring and summer

🫧 Thank you to Good News Baptist Church’s Awana program for hosting a hygiene drive for AGR families!

💚 We loved connecting with community partners during the All Access Community Partners event and sharing more about AGR’s mission!

💐 Volunteer Appreciation Week gave us the chance to celebrate and love on AGR volunteers. We are beyond thankful for each one of you

👗 Redeemed Style brought their mobile boutique to AGR, where moms got to pick several outfits and accessories. The moms had a blast- thank you for blessing them!

🌱Thank you to Baird for helping with a spring refresh around AGR by cleaning and preparing the landscape for mulch

🧱 Renovation update: the new main entrance is taking shape, and the old entrance canopies and pillars are now gone
