Annual Banquet Recap 2025:

The First Choice Annual Banquet was a special time for fellowship and celebration. It was also an opportunity to share the vision of our ministry. Though our organization has seen many changes during the past year, our mission has remained the same!

We are incredibly humbled and blessed that the donations given for this year’s banquet exceeded the contributions from last year’s event. Through your faithful and generous support, First Choice is able to pour into women, men and children in our community with the goal that every individual is respected and every child is wanted, cared for, and nurtured. 

These are a few of the important initiatives that your generous donations support:

• Pregnancy Tests

• Ultrasounds

• Options Education

• Parent Care Classes

• Fatherhood Program

• Material Assistance (baby clothes, diapers, wipes, formula)

• Healthy Relationships Education in 15 area schools

All of these services are provided at no cost to our clients! 

We are also thrilled that through the response at this year’s banquet, more than 30 people expressed interest in becoming new volunteers with First Choice. Our ministry could not function without the countless hours our volunteers give to support families in our community. There are a multitude of ways to volunteer, and we are excited to grow our network of people who give of their time and talents to this organization.
