Aid and Support After Pregnancy (ASAP) Corner

Supreme's new program, now completing its second year and called Aid and Support After Pregnancy (ASAP), supplements donations made by local councils to pregnancy centers or maternity homes that meet certain qualifications. Supreme will issue a $100 grant for every $500 that a council donates (up to $2,000) per Fiscal Year per qualifying organization. The program started on July 1, 2022.

Walking With Moms In Need

Our Council was fortunate to be able to donate to pro-life ministry Walking With Moms In Need (WWMIN).

WWMIN does their work right out of St. Matthew Church and is headed by Volunteer Melissa Scanlon. Once a month, WWMIN runs a “Hand Up Day” in the parish gym where moms in need are able to select the items they need (e.g. diapers, maternity and baby clothing, and other baby items) as well receiving information about doctors, child care, etc.

A check from Supreme made out to St Matthew's Church for the benefit of WWMIN was received by our Council's Financial Secretary John Coudriet. On July 16, 2024, DGK Rocky D'Alessandro and Brother Tony D'Angelo went to St Matthew and met with the church's CFO Jane Balbirnie. Father Darren Balkey joined us and we discussed how the ASAP program works and how it supplements the pro-life donations that our council distributes.

Birthright of Charlotte

Our Council made a donation to Birthright of Charlotte, a Pregnancy Resource Center.

Birthright, located on Monroe Road in Charlotte, is where moms are given diapers, maternity and baby clothing, and other baby items, as well as instruction and counseling on parenting, child safety, etc. Dads to be are also welcomed and encouraged to come! Birthright offers assistance and aid to all facing an unplanned or problem pregnancy.

An ASAP check from Supreme made out to Birthright was received by Financial Secretary John Coudriet. On June 14, 2024, Brother Tony D'Angelo went to the Birthright location and met with Executive Director and Co-Founder Hank Chardos and was given a tour of the facility. Afterwards, Brother Tony presented Hank Chardos with the ASAP check for $400.
