WHO WE ARE
It began as a resale store. It became so much more.
Healthy children. Supported mothers. Stronger families.
LifeSavers Foundation is a faith-based nonprofit in Richardson, Texas. Since 2004, we have come alongside North Texas children, mothers, and families with free pediatric care, pregnancy support, and practical resources.

OUR STORY
A story that kept growing, because the need did.
“LifeSavers had its origin very close to home. During a family situation, it became clear there was a big need in our community to help women facing unplanned pregnancy.”
JODY MOW, FOUNDER AND BOARD CHAIR
2001
One conviction
Jody Mow, Founder and Board Chair, and a group of women began talking about how to help women facing an unplanned pregnancy. Luncheons in the years that followed raised funds for basic supplies for women in crisis.
2004
A gift, and a store
Prestonwood Pregnancy Center gifted us its resale store and asked LifeSavers Foundation to take it over and continue the ministry. We moved it to its current home in Richardson and began operating it. Every sale now funds our programs.
2008
Mobile sonograms
In collaboration with local pregnancy centers, a mobile unit was launched, offering free pregnancy tests and sonograms in a confidential, comfortable space, operated in partnership with Thrive Women’s Center.
2016
Care for children
As needs grew, so did we. The Doctor Spot gives uninsured children free pediatric care, with bilingual staff and a nurse practitioner caring for children from birth through age 18.
Today
Same commitment, wider reach
Helping families move forward with health, support, and dignity.
WHAT WE DO
One mission. Three ways we come alongside.
The Doctor Spot
A free pediatric clinic for uninsured and underinsured children. Families bring their child without an insurance card and never receive a bill.
Mobile Sonogram
A comfortable, confidential place to explore options without judgment, with free pregnancy tests and sonograms, in collaboration with Thrive Women’s Center.
LifeSavers Upscale Resale
Shop here, fund the mission. Alongside like-minded ministries across North Texas, shopping vouchers help women at a pivot point choose what their families need.
We do not ask families to qualify for compassion.
Our services are free and open to everyone, regardless of religion, race, ethnicity, national origin, language, or ability to pay. LifeSavers Foundation is a faith-based organization. Our Christian beliefs shape everything we do.
“Dear children, let’s not merely say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions.”
