Walk for Life
On Saturday, May 6, we gathered at Tracy Community Church to "Walk With Her". There was a little bit of rain, but that didn't stop our 97 walkers and 30 volunteers. This was a multi-generational event with people of all ages coming together to show their support for the Pregnancy Resource Center of Tracy - rain or shine! Proceeds from Walk for Life go to helping PRC of Tracy continue to reach and serve women who are experiencing unexpected pregnancies (and their families).
