We received the following press release from Alpha Family Center.
Alpha Family Center of Lowell and Lake Odessa will officially be changing it’s name to Alpha Care Center. We are excited to make the official announcement at our 7th annual Ladies’ Luncheon, Thursday March 17. This annual event will be celebrating something new on the new Lowell Showboat. There will be roughly 70 ladies in attendance and others particiapting online helping Alpha Care Center to raise funds and friends for this ministry. They will enjoy a lovely lunch while excitedly making bids on donated items in the Silent Auction.
The name change was to really emphasize the CARE we have for every individual we serve, to bring clarity to what we do, and to remove any barriers that may exist by having the name family in the title. The Alpha team has been very strategic in finding just the right name to change to. We kept ‘Alpha’ as we felt the communities we serve in have grown to love and appreciate that name. For those that may not know why we have the name ‘Alpha’ it means ‘beginning’, and we desire to walk alongside of individuals and families in the beginning stages of life. The mission at the Alpha Care Center will stay the same as it has always been “Alpha Care Center is an outreach ministry of local churches sharing the love of Christ through affirming and promoting the value of life and strengthening the family unit.”
Our legacy that started by a team of amazing people on the steering committed, led by Deb Karasiewicz, that began raising funds in 2004 will continue on. In 2006, the then called Alpha Women’s Center of Lowell opened it’s doors. Major changes occurred in 2016 when the organization started providing medical services and changed name to Alpha Family Center of Lowell to welcome it’s doors more to fathers. In January 2020, the doors to Alpha Family Center of Lake Odessa opened.
Not only do we celebrate the new name Alpha Care Center, we are excited to begin offering free STD/STI testing services as well.
We are excited to serve in the Lowell and Lake Odessa communities offering pregnancy options and parenting resources!
