Center offers hope to women

Nearly two decades ago, the ministers of Sherwood Baptist Church recognized that women in the community facing pregnancy needed a place to go. Until that point, that need had gone unfulfilled. The Alpha Pregnancy Resource Center, based across the street from the church on Whispering Pines Road, now sees hundreds of girls each year. The Alpha Pregnancy Resource Center has been in Albany since 1991. Clothing and food items are among the dozens of items sold at the Alpha Pregnancy Resource Center’s “mommy and baby store” to assist women in the area facing motherhood. Albany Herald
