Our History


For nearly 75 years, we have provided reproductive health care and education to women and families in central New Jersey.  We began as a small group of dedicated volunteers concerned with the devastating effects of unwanted and unplanned pregnancies on large families lacking adequate financial resources.  Today, we are proud that our organization provides timely services as well as preventative health care and education that are helping our local clients live healthy, informed lives. 

Along with the direct services that we deliver to our clients, we have been – and continue to be – a strong and clear voice advocating for reproductive health care and women’s rights in New Jersey and beyond.   We helped defeat many restrictive bills and we were the lead plaintiff in cases that successfully challenged the laws we could not defeat in the legislature.
