OUR WORK
The Light Shines in the Darkness 2021
Aid for Women’s pregnancy centers are on the front line of the abortion battle — from our Downtown center at “ground zero” in the Chicago Loop to our satellite centers in suburban Cicero, Wheeling, Flossmoor and Waukegan. Our staff, volunteers and donors remain undaunted in the face of evil. We are committed to expanding our work in Chicago to reach more women than ever before with alternatives to abortion and with the real help necessary to enable them to choose life. We know that it is critical for Aid for Women to remain open to serve as a safe, life-saving refuge for women and their unborn babies. “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” — John 1:5

Dr. Alveda King

A Promise for Life
As Aid for Women celebrates thirty-five years of life-saving work, we recommit to ensure that this vital work continues for many years to come, and that we continue to provide the very best services to women in difficult and unplanned pregnancy situations and their children. Each year, Aid for Women helps thousands of women through our crisis hotline, our counseling centers and our residential program. Now, we feel called to do more to help those in need of our compassionate help. Our goal is to raise one million dollars for an expansion of our crisis counseling and our residential services and to grow our endowment fund.
