Our residents at the Rose Home had fun this weekend tie dyeing t-shirts to wear for their Fourth of July cookout! 🇺🇸🌭 We love creating a family environment and building strong bonds! ❤️

We have spent the past two days celebrating all of our volunteers! We are incredibly blessed to have so many people who care about Willow Pregnancy Support’s mission! Each of these women are so generous and selfless, and we are thankful for the love that they show our clients. We sure do appreciate all of our volunteers and everything they do!!

Thank you to Matt Varney, Captain of the Human Trafficking Unit, and Melissa Eick and Halle Carr, Cofounder and Outreach Coordinator at The Dragonfly Home for training all of us on the red flags of human trafficking and what to do when we spot them. It is so important to us that everyone who works and volunteers at Willow stays informed and is plugged into the resources available for our community.

Did you know that Willow Pregnancy Support offers Spiritual Counseling?

Every client that we serve is offered spiritual counseling, and we connect them to a trained volunteer who can meet with them face to face in our chapel or over the phone.

The staff and volunteers at Willow Pregnancy Support serve our community, to be the hands and feet of Jesus, offering hope and security. We always want everyone to feel comfortable and accepted in our facilities, no matter what their beliefs or background are. Our main focus when it comes to spiritual counseling is for it to always be offered, but optional and non judgemental.

Pregnancy tests are happening at Willow daily! Between our South OKC and Bethany offices, we see approximately 83 pregnancy tests administered every month. The biggest resource that women need from Willow is our support, which we offer to about 266 families each month. Helping families in need through their pregnancy leads to stronger, healthier families, which leads to a stronger, healthier community.

We love getting 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ google reviews, but we love our clients even more! Our goal as a team is always to strive to help our clients the best that we can!

Willow Pregnancy Support provides compassionate care and free pregnancy services to women during and after their pregnancy. We have two locations, South Oklahoma City and Bethany.

Thank you Kim Hardy from Take A Peek for always giving our nurses the best training!

Meet Maggie and Eileen!

Maggie (on your left) has been with us for one year. For years she attended baby showers that the Catholic Daughters of America would throw for Willow Pregnancy Support. She was inspired when Barbara, our Executive Director, came to speak at the events and knew she wanted to come volunteer for us when she retired!

Eileen (on your right) has been with us for over thirteen years! She was moved by a priest’s sermon to come volunteer for us, and she’s been with us ever since!

Maggie and Eileen both work in our clinic helping our doctors on Monday’s. On Wednesdays they help with pregnancy tests and counseling.

Thank you for everything you do for us every week Maggie and Eileen! We appreciate you so much!

Willow Pregnancy Support had the opportunity to set up a table at the Annual Hispanic Health Fair this past weekend. Thank you to Maria, Adriana, and Gina for your time spent out in the community, educating others about our services!

Meet Monica and Laura! Monica (on your right) has been with us for three years and Laura (on your left) has been with us for 1 year. They help us in Willow’s South Office by working together to handle phone calls, administration tasks, donations, and layettes! Monica volunteers at Willow because her parents were founding members and she wanted to be a part of our mission. Laura volunteers at Willow because she has personal experience with her sister receiving goods, services, and emotional support from Willow. Laura was moved by what she saw and wanted to step up and help her community. We love seeing the generational effects of Willow through the stories of our volunteers! Thank you for everything you do Monica and Laura, we value your work here!
