Supporting Men Who Are Supporting Women
Option 1 helps women and families experiencing an unplanned pregnancy to make the healthiest choices for themselves and their unborn children. As a part of this mission in our community, Option 1 provides free pregnancy testing and ultrasound, parenting education, STD information, post-abortion counseling and peer counseling, and abortion information.
Option 1 highly values the man’s role in the family unit as a whole. In 2020, one of Option 1’s goals is to reach out to support men who are supporting women through the decision-making process. That’s why in June, we’re teaming up with Option 1 to encourage and equip male clients who attend pregnancy testing appointments with their female partners.
Through the month of June, we invite you to contribute “Father’s Toolbox” items that will be assembled along with informative, supportive gifts for men to be a part of the decision making process with their partners. The intent is for Option 1 to be able to serve male clients with the same caliber of helpful resources that female clients receive when seeking pregnancy education from this Community Partner organization.
There are three main ways you can contribute to the Father’s Toolbox:
1. Sponsor the creation of one full Father’s Toolbox through a financial gift to Option 1. A $35 sponsorship will allow Option 1 to provide one male client with one box full of encouraging, equipping gifts and resources, specially focused on his journey as he walks alongside his pregnant wife or girlfriend. To sponsor a toolbox, you can make an easy and secure donation online.
2. Go online to shop for specific toolbox items from Option 1’s list and have them shipped directly to Option 1 for assembly. You can view the shopping list on Amazon. When you’re ready to check out, just enter the ship-to address for Option 1, 120 22nd Ave S #181, Brookings, SD 57006. The Father’s Toolbox items will then be assembled to welcome new male clients in 2020.
3. Other fathers: share an uplifting, male-to-male message of support about the journey of stepping into fatherhood. To share your words of encouragement with a male client who’s supporting his wife or girlfriend through the decision-making process, you can click HERE to submit your message. Your note will then be transferred into a handwritten card to go along with a Father’s Toolbox gift for a male client of Option 1.
