Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, Lt. Gov. Jim Tressel, and Ohio Department of Children and Youth Director Kara Wente on Friday (Aug. 8) announced nearly $20 million over the biennium in grants to 21 nonprofit organizations across the state through the Ohio Parenting and Pregnancy Program.
These grants will connect expectant parents and caregivers to education, support, and trusted local services—giving more Ohio babies a healthy start in life.
One of the recipients will be the Bowling Green Pregnancy Center, also known as HerChoice.
Through a competitive application process, DCY selected 21 grantees to deliver prenatal education, parenting classes, case management, referrals, and material assistance tailored to the needs of their local communities. These efforts are part of the DeWine-Tressel Administration’s broader mission to reduce infant mortality and ensure every child in Ohio has the opportunity to live up to their potential.
