Financial Support

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.



Ways to Give:

- One-Time Gift - You can give via cash or check by either stopping by or mailing your gift to the center. Give online by clicking the "Give" button below


- Partnership - Become an NLC Partner by signing up for reoccurring giving. This can occur monthly, quarterly, or annually. By becoming an NLC Partner, you will receive a New Partner Packet (which includes information and an NLC gift), a quarterly newsletter with regular updates about center progress, as well as various perks for our main events.

Get Involved in our Events

Quarterly Events:

Every quarter The New Life Center puts on an event for our community to help us connect with new clients and find new ways to serve Bardstown! 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.


Fundraisers:

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



"Change For Change" Baby Bottle Campaign

• Pick start and end dates for your campaign (allowing 4 weeks in between).

• Request the number of bottles your group needs and pick them up at The New Life Center.

• Announce the fundraiser through provided bulletin inserts/flyers.

• Distribute the empty bottles, fill them with change, cash, or check, and collect them back by your designated end date. You can count the change and bring the empty bottles and a check to The New Life Center, or The New Life Center will count the change and tell you how much you raised!


The Turkey Fun Run & Family Stroll

Every year on Thanksgiving morning we gather for a 5K race! We offer early registration as well as morning of registration.


The Chocolate Extravaganza

Our biggest fundraiser of the year is the Chocolate Extravaganza in late February! Get dressed up and come join us for a night filled with all of the chocolate treats you can eat, raffles, photo booth, and a silent auction!

Choose Life License Plate

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.

"Being a parent is the most difficult, rewarding, and challenging job in the world. We all have issues that arise in raising a child that we need help, someone who has been through what we are going through and can offer help, good advice, and walk alongside us to make it through. I enjoy helping others do this. It is a gift and blessing to do so."
