Meet HHPC's newest Client Care Advocate, Stephanie. The Client Care Advocate serves as the first point of contact for women and families seeking support at the pregnancy center. This role provides compassionate and Christ-centered care to clients navigating pregnancy-related decisions, offering emotional support, practical resources, and spiritual encouragement. Stephanie is getting car seat certified next month and will be leading our new Love & Logic parenting classes. We are so thankful that she is at HHPC.

Hello! I am Stephanie Vande Kamp, a Client Advocate here at Helping Hand Pregnancy Center. I am originally from the Worthington area, graduated from Southwest Star Concept in Okabena. I was raised on a hog and cattle farm where we also had corn and soybean crops. I am now married to my husband, Austin. We have two beautiful girls; Callee is 6 and Jaelee will forever be 10 months old. We live on an acreage near Brewster where we raise sheep for market. I am excited to be here at HHPC and look forward to meeting you! Please stop in and say hi to us and see the center.

Monday meet your HHPC staff...Faith works with our outreach programs and has been here a little over a year. Whether engaging churches or schools, Faith represents the heart of the ministry—offering hope, education, and connection. We are so blessed to have her on our team!

My name is Faith, I am married to my high school sweetheart and we have one daughter, along with a little boy on the way. We are always busy doing farm things, tending to the garden, and canning. I have a little bit of an artist side. I love doing pottery, crocheting, and painting. I am so blessed to be working at Helping Hand Pregnancy Center. I am so passionate about teaching how beautiful it is to wait until marriage, just how God intended it to be. I enjoy talking to the students and making connections wtih them. This has been my absolute favorite job and I am beyond thankful.

Agree 💯

In a state where nine counties have no labor and delivery services, one group is stepping into the gap, and now lawmakers want to protect them.

Wyoming’s proposed CARE Act would shield pregnancy resource centers from government interference, ensuring they can continue serving women and families without being forced to promote abortion. These centers are often the only local lifeline for expectant mothers in “maternal health deserts,” providing ultrasounds, parenting classes, and compassionate support at no cost to taxpayers.

If passed, the CARE Act could redefine how rural maternity care works while protecting pro-life service providers and helping solve a real healthcare crisis. Read to learn more https://hubs.ly/Q03QM-l10

Do you think pregnancy centers deserve these protections? Comment AGREE or DISAGREE and share your thoughts.

This is so very AWESOME! Thank you, Connie Ten Napel! The Lord works in wonderful ways. This is our most requested Bible that we give out and we have gotten low on them. All families that walk in the door are offered a Bible and if they don't have a home church, we help them find one. THANK YOU!
