SACRAMENTO, CA (MPG) - The Sacramento Life Center is proud to announce the receipt of a generous $20,000 grant from The Kelly Foundation to further its mission of supporting low-income pregnant women and families in the Sacramento area. This funding will directly benefit the Life Center's critical “New Moms” program, which provides essential resources, care and support for new mothers during a crucial period of transition.

The “New Moms” program has been a cornerstone of the Sacramento Life Center's services, offering personalized assistance to mothers as they navigate the challenges of pregnancy and early parenthood. The funding from The Kelly Foundation will enable the center to expand its services, providing additional prenatal care, educational resources, parenting support and financial assistance to those in need.

“We are deeply grateful for The Kelly Foundation’s support,” said Marie Leatherby, Executive Director of the Sacramento Life Center. “This grant will allow us to continue offering life-changing services to the women and families who need them most. Our mission is to ensure that every woman, regardless of her financial situation, has access to the care and resources she deserves during her pregnancy and after the birth of her child.”

The grant will be used to enhance various aspects of the “New Moms” program, including expanding prenatal and postnatal care services; providing parenting classes, life skills training and mental health support; offering financial aid for baby supplies, medical costs and other critical needs; and connecting new mothers to community resources and job placement programs.

The Sacramento Life Center has been a vital community resource for nearly four decades, helping thousands of women and families through its comprehensive programs. The center provides free medical services, counseling, education and support, empowering women to make informed decisions and build strong families.

The Kelly Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting programs that improve the lives of vulnerable populations, has been a longstanding partner in advancing the welfare of families across the region.
