We Are Committed To:
Minimal Requirements
We keep things pretty simple around here. Your connection with your matched Friend is based entirely on your terms. You get to determine the nature of the relationship and can step away from the program at any time.
Unconditional Support
Although A Friend for You refers only to parenting and adoption resources, should a client choose abortion or suffer miscarriage, her relationship with her matched Friend continues and doesn’t change.
Gifts and Meals
Post-pregnancy meals and gifts are offered to clients of all pregnancy paths, including miscarriage, who are current clients of our Friendship Program.
Our Leadership
A Friend for You is a faith-based nonprofit organization run entirely by volunteers. Without the support and involvement of these wonderful leaders, we would not be able to serve our clients as effectively as we’ve been called to.

We Love Our Clients
How Does It Work?
The first step is simply to give us a call or send us a text message. This will allow you to share how we can best support you while sharing as little or as much or your story as you feel comfortable.
Within 24 hours of contacting us, we will connect you with a trained volunteer who will provide you with ongoing 1-on-1 support. You’ll receive a short bio of your volunteer before you meet. From there, YOU define the relationship according to your needs.
Remember, the nature of this relationship is on your terms. You’re welcome to meet her at a favorite coffee shop, fast food restaurant, a local park — wherever you feel most comfortable. The method and how often you’d like to connect is entirely up to you.
Your volunteer is ready to connect you with organizations who provide material and professional services in your local community.
Who doesn’t need a little extra encouragement sometimes? You will receive a few special gifts throughout your pregnancy and to celebrate certain holidays. It’s just another way we show our support and gratitude for becoming our client here at A Friend for You.
