We’re called “Life Connections” because if you connect with us, it helps you connect to the community….and by being connected, it can help you live a happier and healthier life, for you and your family. More connections = more support.
Life Connections does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, age, disability, marital status, immigration status, or sexual orientation. Life Connections provides an inclusive and welcoming environment for all.
Life Connections is a parenting resource and pregnancy support center that is open to ANYONE with small children or who is pregnant under “less-than-ideal” circumstances. Run by volunteers and donations, our office has been in Alexandria for over 45 years and helped over 6000 women, babies, & families.
Life Connections has a policy of not advocating or lobbying in politics and we are not affiliated with any one particular church. We do believe that God doesn’t make mistakes, and that He wants us to be there for one another. We hope to be His hands and feet and in that way we can hug you, help you, and walk beside you through your daily life.
We are a group of helpers that know that parenting and pregnancy can be scary when you aren’t ready, don’t have the money, or you don’t have enough help.
We also know that if we want to reduce the challenges found by choosing to bring children into this world, then we must help you find comfort, security, and resources so that you know you are loved and not alone.
Life Connections provides a variety of services in-house and also refers clients to others in the community for many more specialized services. We offer friendship, free pregnancy tests, love, hope, and support so that you can make a realistic plan for the future. With more info comes more peace.
We try to help with material goods, but we can only hand out what is donated to us; therefore, availability can vary from week to week. Depending on both our funding and the age of your child, we can offer baby and maternity supplies such as clothing, shoes, outerwear, diapers, bedding, cribs, car seats, bottles, formula, toys, breast pumps, monitors, and more. Please call or stop in to ask about availability. If we can’t supply the items you need, we will work with you to either find possible alternate sources, or help you budget for the items through mentoring.
We are here to support you in making your own decision about your pregnancy.
We will listen to you through one-on-one contact to provide personal attention.
We want you to know the many options and support available to you.
Life Connections is prepared to help you whether you are single or married regardless of race, color, religion, gender, age, sexual orientation, immigration status, disability, employment or financial situation...even if you are the grandparents, foster family, or adoptive family!
Although we don’t perform or refer for abortions, we will help you understand what you can expect from the abortion procedure. Gather your questions and make an appointment today with us to meet your Life Connections advocate, before scheduling an abortion. If you should choose an abortion, we will not judge you or stop loving you, and we’re here to help you afterward as well. You are important to us.
While we are not an adoption agency, we LOVE the adoption option and having birthmoms choose the parents for their child’s future. What a gift! We can refer you to agencies in our area.
Life Connections provides resources for young families in need.
We are dedicated to creating healthier communities by addressing the financial, physical, emotional, spiritual, and relational needs of expectant parents and families with young children.

Life Connections believes that society has failed both women and families if abortion is their ONLY choice for an undesired pregnancy. Feeling like you have only one choice, is not really much of “a choice” at that point. We have talked ourselves into thinking that abortion eliminates the problem, when in fact many women are feeling FORCED to choose this abortion option (against their wishes) because their real needs are not being met....the need to provide for their baby.
We, as individuals and as a group, need to eliminate the root causes that drive women to choose abortion -- meaning that we need to provide emotional, spiritual, physical, relational, and monetary support, and also the real resources to back it up.
The original feminists were willing to lose their jobs, be thrown in jail, beaten, and some even had to die for their right to be treated as equal humans to men...with the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
As their writings show, they believed that ALL humans deserved the same rights as men … all women, every race, and yes, even unborn babies, who they knew were humans too.
Yes, the women who wanted to be protected by the law, wanted unborn babies protected too, because they knew that it made no sense for them to declare that they were worthy of respect and basic rights, if other humans still weren’t. Their writings prove this. And they also knew that when society talked women into abortions, it was society’s way of avoiding its responsibilities to help women; they testified that abortion was another way for men to try to tell women what to do.
