Hope Clinic for Women celebrates families at Hope Walks

FALLBROOK – This past year, Hope Clinic for Women (HCW) impacted the futures of families in Fallbrook facing unplanned pregnancy. Their choice to partner with the clinic allowed them to experience the hospitality for which this community is known.

Time spent with trained client advocates provided these families with opportunities to learn and grow as parents and individuals and to make informed choices that have lifelong impacts on them and their families.

In 2022, HCW hosted over 807 client visits, 789 individual educational classes, 69 free pregnancy tests, and 92 free ultrasounds. "We are thankful for the 27 babies born to moms in our programs," said executive director Carolyn Koole.

On Saturday, June 3, from 8-11:30 a.m., HCW will host "Hope Walks," a free family event at The Vineyard 1924 (1924 E. Mission Road) in Fallbrook. Funds raised at the walk will provide much needed operational revenue for the clinic. The goal for this year is $20,000 in sponsorships and pledges from the community.

All services that HCW offers are free to its clients. Without a loving and caring community, HCW would not be able to make a difference in the hearts and lives of moms and dads and bring hope to their families.

The walk is a great end of school year activity with a purpose to support young families in Fallbrook. HCW encourages families, churches, and businesses to attend and enjoy a morning of fun events at a beautiful venue. Complimentary Hope Walks T-shirts will go to all adults attending. Snacks, water, and coffee will be provided.

Participants may register online at https://www.hopefallbrook.com/Get-Involved/Hope-Events. Once registered, a personal fundraising page will be created that can be shared on social media for family and friends to make pledges.
