At the East Los Angeles Pregnancy Center we celebrate Motherhood every day.

As any mother will tell you, the struggles of being a mother are real but the love and joy a child brings are something she would never trade for the world.

For first time mothers or mothers in an unplanned or expected pregnancy this can be a difficult time. We are honored to be able to work with every client that comes through our doors and not only help them to see the beauty in their new role as a mother but also to give them the resources they need to become great parents and build healthy families.

Please take the time this weekend to thank your mother, your wife, your grandmother and any other mother you know because they made that courageous choice to give life and accepted not just the responsibility of those nine months but for the love of a lifetime.

Moms we thank you! Happy Mother’s Day.

With Love, The ELAPC Family

We are proud to announce the recent addition of two new staff members at the

East Los Angeles Pregnancy Center.

“I once read that a trait of great leaders is they surround themselves with people smarter than they are.

 I see that in Vanessa and Charlene. Vanessa is a self-starter with impeccable organizational skills. She’s detail oriented and always ready to help. Charlene brings a wealth of knowledge and experience. She’s a great leader and team player and genuinely loves to help people. They both bring their unique talents and faith to the ELAPC family.”
