Years serving the Valley
For over 40 years, our work has been local, personal, and rooted in the belief that when a community cares for the vulnerable, restoration becomes possible.
Our work in 2025: together for life in the Valley.
Right to Life of Central California serves the San Joaquin Valley with one conviction: every human life carries inherent dignity and immeasurable worth.
Local, personal, and rooted in dignity.
Our work follows three connected commitments: engage the community, equip advocates, and embrace women, men, and families with practical care.
Parents and students reached annually
Age-appropriate lessons in schools, churches, and community settings help the next generation understand human dignity and life-affirming choices.
Lives touched through outreach
Through sidewalk outreach, personal conversations, and practical support for women, men, and families across the Central Valley.
Engage
our community by living out a life-affirming vision with compassion and care. Our Outreach Center is the hub for this work, a place where employees and volunteers come alongside women and couples facing difficult decisions, offering a compassionate alternative and connecting them to critical local resources.
Equip
advocates to affirm life through effective tools and training. Our community, and our youth in particular, need to be equipped with knowledge about healthy relationships, boundaries, and the value of every life. We provide free educational resources to schools, youth groups, and partner organizations.
Embrace
individuals and couples who are hurting. We provide support, help, and healing for all, from a young woman facing an unplanned pregnancy to couples walking through grief from past loss. Together with our partners, no one has to face these moments alone.
Why community outreach?
We believe every individual we interact with deserves to be seen, heard, and loved with compassion and treated with dignity, including the preborn.
Most women facing an unplanned pregnancy who consider termination do so primarily because of financial strain or relational pressure. They don't feel they have the support needed to raise a child. The need is real, and it's right here in our Valley.
Our Outreach Center is a powerful response to this need. Home to over fifty dedicated volunteers, we ensure every mom, or couple, knows there is a caring community ready to stand with them. With open hands, we offer a future worth hoping for, and we invite you to be part of it.

Our educational engagement.
We know that reaching the next generation means meeting them where they are. That is why we head out to churches, schools, and community events to engage students and parents.
We provide positive, age-appropriate lessons that teach children the inherent dignity of every person. In middle school, students learn how to think critically and defend the value of human life with compassion and reason. For high school audiences, we explore complex cultural and moral issues surrounding life, relationships, and the importance of strong families.
"A human's a human no matter how small. Thank you for teaching the importance of a baby and a baby matters!"

Ways to partner and support.
Individuals, churches, businesses, and organizations all have a role to play. Some give. Some serve. Some simply show up. All of it matters. What's your part?
34th annual
Christmas Dinner and Auction
Every December, over a thousand people from across the Central Valley gather for one of the region's most anticipated evenings: the Right to Life Christmas Dinner and Auction. It's a night of generosity, community, and celebration, and it takes an entire community to pull it off. Whether you have auction items to donate, skills to lend, or time to give, there's a role for you behind the scenes of something truly special.
27th tournament
Golf for Life
In spring, golfers and supporters from across the Central Valley hit the links for the Chuck and JoAnn Stephens Memorial Golf Tournament. It's a morning of friendly competition, great company, and real impact, and it takes a full team to make it run smoothly. Whether you're a golfer, a sponsor, or a volunteer, there's a place for you in the lineup.
Beyond our major events, we run a full calendar of opportunities to get involved, including our beloved Mother's Day Corsage fundraiser and the 300 Club, our monthly giving community that sustains the mission year-round.
