Natchitoches’ Women’s Resource Center was among five such centers throughout Louisiana to be honored by Louisiana Right to Life with a “Pro-Life Leadership Award” at the 2025 Republican Leadership Conference held in Alexandria Saturday, November 1.

WRC Executive Director K. Nicole Woods accepted the award on behalf of the center, its staff and dedicated volunteers. The WRC served over 200 young women last year, helping with education as well as practical help such as car seats and other baby supplies. Previously, the WRC assisted new mothers through the baby’s first year. Starting in January, the center will be able to provide assistance through the child’s third birthday, giving the new moms and their children a solid start in their new lives.
