People who love people and cherish each life,
particularly the unborn, came together on Saturday in Lincoln.
"Faith. Hope. Love. Life saved." was the theme of this year's Walk
for Life fundraiser hosted by Living Alternatives Pregnancy Resource
Center.

The event at Lincoln
Christian Church offered balloon animals, face painting, a silent
auction, lots of sweet things to eat, music and song by Bill Dolan,
and more.
Walkers took advantage of a brief time of sunshine at 10 a.m. to do
their laps outdoors. |

For 26 years, Living Alternatives has been serving women
facing unplanned pregnancies. The agency offers nonjudgmental
counseling, ministers hope and healing to those who have had
abortions, and provides assistance to women who would like to keep a
baby or birth a child for adoption. There is even a residential
program in another community. The
organization has limited staffing and welcomes volunteers to work in
various capacities from stocking goods to office assistance.
The Lincoln office is currently seeking to hire an administrative
assistant and program director.

County, Jacksonville, Kankakee, Litchfield,
Shelbyville, Springfield, Stark County in Toulon, Tazewell County
opening in 2013, Will County; and Merci's Refuge, a residential
