AALC/Stork Support is a non-profit organization that was birthed by a small group of praying women in a kitchen 22 years ago. We began by providing support to women who may need assistance while facing an unplanned pregnancy and are now expanding to help provide for the physical needs of people of all ages. Stork Support has been serving young mothers and their families since 1989. We promote and foster alternatives to abortion through referrals to licensed adoption agencies, referrals to medical providers, and other groups that provide counseling to expectant mothers. Some of our services include:

Outreaches
Referral services to health care providers
Special labor support providers
Speakers available!

Our staff of volunteers are prepared to speak to your youth group, parent/teachers club, school, or church about the center and how you can be involved. We welcome volunteers. While there are no fees for these services, donations of gently used baby clothing and baby furniture as well as finances are accepted and appreciated. Donations of gently used clothing, furniture, and other household items are now being accepted. All donations are tax deductible.

We operate by faith and use Christian principles.
