INDIANA– Indiana Right to Life launched a new online network today that will match Hoosier support with pregnancy resource centers throughout the state.
The Help Moms and Babies network center will enable Hoosiers to donate items and funding directly to the more than 100 pregnancy resource centers in Indiana.
“Too often we wait for government to be the solution, and until programs like Real Alternatives came along to walk beside our PRCs, many of these centers relied fully on the goodwill and generosity of their communities and churches for decades to be the resources to support moms and babies,” said Indiana Right to Life President and Chief Executive Officer Mike Fichter.
Fichter said abortions are down 98% in Indiana, and that Hoosiers are asking to get more involved to support prolife efforts.
The Help Moms and Babies network center will act, in part, like a baby-shower registry – where Hoosiers can go online to select the PRC they want to support and then peruse what items the PRC needs and in what quantities. Donors can then choose which items they wish to donate and in what volume. They can also donate funding, but the Help Moms and Babies network provides both options.
The site is tied to Amazon.com, which processes the selection transactions and then automatically delivers the items to the PRCs.
“Hoosiers can now provide support from wherever they are, 24/7 and 365 days a week,” said Fichter.
The Help Moms and Babies network is Indiana’s first platform, with 35 PRCs participating at the initial launch. Fichter said the network will be bringing all interested PRCs on board throughout 2025 and is in discussions to expand the network to a nationwide scale.
“Last year Indiana Right to life was very instrumental in bringing awareness to our ministry,” said Yadi Garcia, chief executive officer of Angelcare in Trafalgar, Ind. “They shared our Amazon wish list [publicly] and we had an online baby shower. It was so successful in generating support. So am excited about this new website.”
