LifeBeat holding fundraiser to support mobile clinic

LifeBeat Family Resource Center of Tiptonville, TN, has recently started a fundraiser with RADA Cutlery to raise support for the ongoing expenses of its new mobile pregnancy clinic. The mobile clinic is an extension of Crossroads Women’s Clinic, and its staff started mobile operations on April 6, 2023.

RADA Cutlery, in business since 1948, sells an extensive line of knives with a lifetime warranty. Other products sold include utensils, pans, gift sets, books, and food mixes. The company teams up with organizations who are passionate about a cause and need to raise money.

LifeBeat will conduct both face-to-face and online sales through June 10, 2023. The ministry will deliver catalogs to those interested and personally take care of the orders. For online orders, shoppers can use the assigned store link, browse an online catalog, and place an order with proceeds going to LifeBeat.

At Crossroads Women’s Clinic, the ministry provides pregnancy-related services, classes, counseling, and referrals, free of charge, to girls and women experiencing unplanned pregnancies. The medical professionals from the clinic in Tiptonville also travel on the mobile clinic throughout Lake and Obion counties to bring free pregnancy tests, 3D and 4D ultrasounds, and referrals directly to women in need.

With the addition of the mobile clinic, the organization faces greater expenses, such as the travel and maintenance costs of the mobile clinic, additional medical supplies, and higher salaries for the medical staff, whose time in the field has increased. Without donations and proceeds from fundraisers, the organization would not be able to continue providing services.

Dee Keeling, Director of LifeBeat, says, “We do not get any government money. We could not operate without donations and fundraisers.” She says the purpose of this fundraiser is to keep the mobile unit on the road and to extend the ministry’s days of operation.
