What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Stork's Nest Baby Pantry
The Stork's Nest Baby Pantry helps young mothers and other clients with baby clothes, diapers, formula, baby food, etc. We carry baby clothes from newborn to size 5T and diapers/pull-ups through size 5. We also carry baby bottles, pacifiers, sippy cups and other accessories that young children need. All items are free, thanks to the generosity of our donors, who are individuals, churches, and organizations. We have served over 20,000 families and over 45,000 children through this program.
Elizabeth Yox College Scholarship Program
Each year we offer three $2,000 scholarships to young parents residing in the Miami Valley area who have experienced an untimely pregnancy and have chosen life for his or her child. The scholarship money is paid directly to the college of the applicant's choice in two installments, to be used for books, tuition and miscellaneous fees.
The Elizabeth Yox Scholarship Fund is established in honor of Betty Yox, retired office administrator for Dayton Right to Life. She unselfishly gave of her time and talent for over twenty years and saved many babies along the way. The Yox Scholarship Fund has provided over $30,000 to young women who chose life for their babies and want to continue their education.
End of Life Seminars
Dayton Right to Life offers end of life seminars for civic groups and churches, entitled "Now and At the Hour of our Death." It is a panel discussion that includes an attorney, nurse, and a Dayton Right to Life staff person that offers information on healthcare power of attorney forms, questions to ask your doctor or Hospice provider, and how to prepare for medical emergencies and serious illness. It also includes a Q&A session with our panelists. These seminars are offered free of charge and last about an hour and a half.
In addition, Dayton Right to Life offers educational seminars on assisted suicide, euthanasia, and basic Church teaching on end of life topics.
Community Outreach and Education Programs (Mobile Pantry and Community Baby Showers)
Our mobile baby pantry events and community baby showers provide education and material assistance to participants in their own neighborhoods and communities, eliminating transportation and scheduling burdens for young mothers and their families. These programs have served over 900 clients since 2017.
