Christmas Giving
The holiday season is upon us, and we are doing things a little bit different this year for our client families. We are excited to share that Alpha Care Center will be hosting two separate Christmas parties this year—one for each of our client communities!
✨ Lowell Christmas Party: Tuesday, December 9
✨ Lake Odessa Christmas Party: Thursday, December 11
Each celebration will include fun holiday activities for families and children, along with a special family gift for every household that attends. These events are a cherished tradition at Alpha Care Center, giving our clients a chance to experience the joy, hope, and love that Christmas brings.
To make these celebrations possible, we’re seeking donations of party supplies, snacks, small gifts, and family-friendly items. If you’d like to help, we’ve made it easy to shop from our Amazon Wish List — simply click the link below to view and purchase items that will go directly toward the parties:

Vision of Life Dinner
We’re thrilled to invite you to join us for a special evening at our annual Vision of Life Dinner — a night to celebrate life, faith, and the impact we’re making together in our community.
📅 Date: Tuesday, October 7, 2025
📍 Location: Thornapple Pointe
⏰ Time: 6pm
This year’s theme, Forward in Faith, reminds us that when truth is seen, hearts are changed. Together, we’ll enjoy a delicious meal, inspiring stories, and a chance to look ahead at the life-transforming work God is calling us to in the year to come.

We can’t wait to spend this memorable evening with you — celebrating victories, sharing vision, and pressing forward in faith.
This is a perfect opportunity to invite friends or family who would love to learn more about Alpha Care Center’s mission. Reserve your seats early — we expect a full house!
Strides for Life
Strides for Life 2025 was a day to remember!
With 44 registered participants and beautiful sunshine overhead, our community came together to walk with purpose—and we’re so thankful to all who were a part of it. Whether you walked, gave, or cheered us on from afar, your support meant the world.
Your generosity helps provide:
• Hope, resources, and compassionate care for women and families in our community
• Free pregnancy testing and first-trimester ultrasounds
• Parenting classes and material support
Look for information next Spring when Alpha Care Center will once again host the annual Strides for Life event in June, a family-friendly 5K run/walk and Kids Fun Run dedicated to supporting the life-affirming work of Alpha Care Center.
Participants of all ages are encouraged to join, whether aiming for a personal best or enjoying a leisurely walk with friends and family. The event not only promotes fitness and community spirit but also raises funds to Alpha continue to provide free services such as ultrasounds, pregnancy support, and parenting resources for local women, men, and families in need.
Baby Bottle Boomerang
If you would like to help in a tangible way, consider being a part of our Baby Bottle Boomerang from Mother’s Day (May 10, 2026) to Father’s Day (June 21, 2026). While the Baby Bottle Campaign runs officially from Mother’s Day to Father’s Day, we encourage you to participate year-round.
There are no requirements except to pick up your baby bottle(s) from the Alpha Care Center location of your choice (Lake Odessa or Lowell) and return the bottle filled. Pick up another bottle and repeat. We count the coins for you. If you prefer to write a check or make a credit card or Venmo payment, we will accept that too.
If you are interested in setting up a time for your own Baby Bottle Campaign, please contact us info@alphacarecenter.org
or phone at 616.987.9533.
Ladies Luncheon
Every spring we have our annual Ladies Luncheon & Silent Auction! The luncheon tickets benefit Alpha Care Center along with proceeds from the Silent Auction.
Giving Tuesday
Giving Tuesday is a Global Movement to Celebrate Generosity and the Causes that are in our Heart. A season of Kindness a Day of Giving.
End of Year Campaign
As a non-profit, we are able to serve our community because of the generosity of partners like you. Nationally, 30% of donations are given within the last month of the year, so your generosity is appreciated now more than ever!
