08 May 2017 Life Choices plans new location
Life Choices, the pregnancy resource center serving primarily Faulkner and Van Buren counties and neighboring areas, recently announced that it will be moving its offices to 1330 South Donaghey later this year. The eventual 3,400-square-foot facility will house all of Life Choices daily operations and administrative offices.
Plans are to completely remodel the existing 2,000-square-foot structure and add approximately 1,400 square feet plus parking and landscaping. These plans have been approved by the City of Conway. Ray Nabholz of NBMC is leading this effort as project manager.
“For 37 years, Life Choices has served the families of Central Arkansas faithfully but this is the first time she will own her own space. The board of directors and I are thrilled at this monumental step in Life Choices’ history. Over $120,000 has already been raised for this project with over $50,000 more pledged. We praise God for orchestrating every detail of this exciting expansion,” said Maria Speer, executive director.
The estimated project cost is $600,000. According to Speer, efforts are being made to solicit donated items and services to help lower this cost; and continued fundraising efforts are being pursued to raise the needed remaining funds.
As a faith-based non-profit, Life Choices serves the community by providing free services including pregnancy tests, limited ultrasounds, pregnancy options information and parenting education as reflected by the organization’s mission statement: “Life Choices is a community based ministry of Jesus Christ committed to serving women in word and deed empowering them to make life affirming choices for themselves and their families.”
Life Choices served more than 440 women in 2016, plus their children and families.
