Her PLAN is here to help community members who want to provide that
support to moms and their babies.
When growing communities don’t have the current resources and jobs necessary to support new families, Her PLAN is here to help community members who want to provide that support to moms and their babies. Together, Her PLAN and local leaders assess community needs, respond with projects and programs to fill them, and ensure this vulnerable demographic has their needs met.
Her PLAN’s state program in Florida launched in 2025 with the first Her Community officially launched in February of 2026 in Lakeland. Since then, community coalitions of local leaders, providers, and organizations have banded together to meet the needs of abortion-vulnerable women right in their own neighborhoods.
Lakeland is especially well-equipped in a few areas to support moms. Here is where your
community is already making a difference.
There are two pregnancy centers in Lakeland, Options for Women and A Woman's Choice. Both offer pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, women’s wellness exams, STD testing, and more. If the STD test is positive, clients are referred to the Florida Health Department, where they can receive free treatment for the infection.
Lakeland Volunteers in Medicine is a volunteer-run medical clinic that provides free, quality medical care to the working uninsured populations in Polk County. Services include primary care, diagnostics, pharmacy, mental health, dental, and vision care.
Through the Dream Center of Lakeland, churches can easily develop and host a food pantry as part of the ‘Adopt-a-Block' initiative. This is a community-based initiative designed to combat food insecurity throughout Polk County by partnering with a wide range of churches and organizations.
Every community has areas where more support is needed. These are the gaps Her PLAN and local leaders in Lakeland are actively working to address and where your involvement can make a real difference.
These are Her PLAN’s anchor organizations in Lakeland. Local organizations committed to working alongside Her PLAN to strengthen the pro-life safety net for moms.
