We are touched by the sweet gift we received from Lucy last week. She asked her friends to bring donations for EPS instead of gifts to her birthday party, and she delivered them with so much joy!

Lucy’s mom Brenda Keady serves on the EPS board, and we are so grateful to both of them for their support of EPS. 💕

About 1 in 4 pregnancies end in loss. Behind every statistic is a story of love, strength, and remembrance.

October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, and we honor the tiny lives gone too soon, along with the mothers who carry their memory with endless love.

While October honors Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness, we know this grief doesn't follow a calendar.

We hold space for you today, tomorrow, and always. 💕

10/05/2025

Today is Respect Life Sunday and we have some exciting news to share!

After prayerful consideration, discussion, and strategic planning, EPS leadership and board have made the decision to elevate our mission statement. Our new mission statement is:

Supporting women by providing compassionate care for their body, mind and spirit — helping them become more informed and confident.

EPS Executive Director, Denny Waggoner, dives deeper into this change and what it means for EPS in this video.

Most importantly, this new mission statement gives EPS room to grow, allowing us to serve women and babies in an even greater capacity.

Thank you for your support of EPS. Whether it is through donations, volunteering, or prayer, we could not do this work without you. 💗
