Pro-Life Mississippi’s Benevolence Ministry is dedicated to the critical and life-saving work of helping families meet their basic needs. We supplement the work of pregnancy centers and Embrace Grace groups in Mississippi by providing financial support for housing, utilities, and car payments to mothers and families. After assisting 28 families with a variety of needs, we have exhausted our allocated funds for the Benevolence program for 2025.

After assisting 28 families in need, we have exhausted our allocated funds for our Benevolence program for the year 2025. We will not be accepting applications at this time. We intend to continue this program beginning January 2026. 

We hope to assist more families throughout the coming year. There exists a great need for this program. We will also begin guiding those who can to the appropriate job training program that will offer them the opportunity to become more self-sustaining and independent.
