Who We Are

Alpha Women's Center of Grand Rapids (AWC) is rooted in the belief that women in crisis, such as an unplanned pregnancy, deserve a safe place to receive support. Beginning in 1985, AWC provided services for 71 women. Today, AWC empowers over 1,200 women each year through a variety of programs. From 1992-2006, Alpha Women's Center of Grand Rapids expanded its reach by launching six satellite centers in Cedar Springs, Greenville, Hastings, Wayland, Newaygo and Lowell. Today, five of these centers function independently in their community. In 2010, AWC relocated to 1725 Division Avenue South. This 17,000-square-foot facility, located in the heart of Grand Rapids, allows AWC to reach an ever-increasing number of women and families.
