Since 1988, Gift of Life Foundation (GOL) has been working to decrease infant mortality through programs that empower women to reduce the challenges they face that threaten their health and prevent a healthy birth outcome. Our parent educators, mobile family coaches, and registered nurses help first-time and experienced parents develop effective parenting skills and connect them to community resources that help them increase self-sufficiency and succeed.
GOL offers programs that are designed to meet the unique needs of families. All our programs are voluntary and are offered at no cost to women, infants and children who are at a greater risk for infant mortality who live in Montgomery, Elmore, Autauga, Lee, Macon, Russell, Chilton, Crenshaw, Pike and Chambers counties.
