Our Mission: The Advocacy Center gives women, parents, and their families FREE classes and material assistance.

The Advocacy Center is a non-profit 501(c)(3) Christian organization that has been serving the Sumter Community since 2008. We provide support and guidance to women, families, and their children impacted by unforeseen and often very difficult circumstances. We help guide them toward healthier lifestyles by providing free and confidential classes, private spiritual counseling, material assistance, resources, and referrals to other local organizations.

This is inspiring for all moms! I applaud all the women who choose to parent despite adverse circumstances like Pattie's and then share their testimony. Famous or not you are stars in my book 🌟

Justin Bieber’s mother, Pattie Mallette, became pregnant at just 17 years old.

Despite facing pressure to abort, she refused to end her son’s life.

Justin went on to become one of the biggest musicians in the world.

Last night Pattie joined Action’s Life Awards Gala to stand for the dignity and worth of every human life. Inspiring.

1% better every day!!

Your kids don't need you to die for them. They need you to live. To make the thousand small decisions, daily, that nobody will ever call heroic.

Show up healthy. Clear the distractions. Lead on purpose.

That's the whole job. ❤️
