These events are fun-filled and usually include multiple family-friendly activities as well as giveaways. Get involved by serving, sponsoring, or attending one of these events.

We have 3 fundraisers currently. We have the "Change for Change" campaign, The Turkey Fun Run and Family Stroll, and the Chocolate Extravaganza. 


"Change For Change" Baby Bottle Campaign

An important way to support the center is financially. The New Life Center is a 501c3 non-profit. This means we do not receive any government funding or grants. All of our financial support comes from individuals, organizations, and churches. Any financial support we receive helps us to fulfill our mission by allowing us to purchase things such as new curriculum and necessary items for clients. as well as the daily operation of the Center. You can support the center financially either by giving a one-time gift or by becoming an NLC Partner through reoccurring giving.

It's simple.  Just ask for the "CHOOSE LIFE" plate when renewing your auto registration.  The plate will cost extra for two reasons: 1) there is a $10 donation to The New Life Center if the plate is purchased in Nelson County; and 2) the plate itself costs money for the state to offer.  So, once the plate is purchased, the cost each year is just like any basic plate except there is a $10 donation added to it.
