Point of Life Resource Center is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting families in crisis across Jefferson, Shelby and Chilton counties in Alabama. We provide essential resources to parents and infants facing poverty, including diapers, formula, baby gear, and access to mental health support through our Mindful Beginnings program. Our initiatives, such as Bassinets for Babies, focus on creating safer, healthier environments for newborns by distributing new and gently used bassinets to families in need. Through compassion, community collaboration, and practical aid, Point of Life works to uplift families and give every child a stronger, safer start.

• We have developed clear budgeting and financial oversight
• We report regularly to the IRS (Form 990) to show how funds are spent 
• We evaluate our programs for effectiveness to make sure we are making a measurable benefit and that our programs remain in alignment with our mission. 
• In addition to our annually published reports, we regularly keep our donors informed so they can understand how their contributions are making an impact

We partner with local private and government organizations who are in the best positions to identify at-risk children, including those lacking safe sleep spaces, basic supplies, or stable housing.

We have a structured application that asks about household income, number of dependents, current challenges, recent life changes, and program eligibility (SNAP, TANF, etc.) to ensure assistance goes to families that are most in need and to help us track ongoing support needs.

Through our public outreach, community events, social media, and local partnerships, families often self-identify their need and request assistance.

While we use predefined criteria to automatically approve eligible families, we also review requests on a case-by-case basis to ensure no family in crisis is turned away without thoughtful consideration.

We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and all donations made are tax deductible in the United States.
