The saying \u201cit takes a village to raise a child\u201d isn\u2019t just a nice idea \u2014 it\u2019s a reminder that families, especially mothers, need support, connection, and shared strength to thrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But in today\u2019s times, that village has grown quieter. Families live farther apart, communities feel more fragmented, and many mothers carry the weight of parenting without the support generations before them relied on. The truth is simple \u2014 no woman was meant to navigate motherhood alone. And in a world where asking for help is often met with shame instead of compassion, organizations like Life Options Network are stepping in to rebuild the village every mother deserves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Life Options Network, a 501(c)(3) organization, operates three locations across the country \u2014 two in Washington state and one next to Mt. Juliet. Their mission is simple but profound \u2014 to ensure no mother faces motherhood without support, resources, or someone in her corner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAt Life Options Network, we provide resource information necessary for mothers and struggling families to receive the help they need,\u201d said Life Options Network founder and president, Jennifer Hoffman. \u201cWe know information is power, and knowing where to go for resources like food, clothing, childcare, and shelter is essential to so many people who might otherwise continue to struggle. Our goal is to share the love of Christ as we advocate for vulnerable mothers and their children in all stages.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The organization\u2019s heartbeat is advocacy, education, and its free stores that are warm, welcoming spaces where mothers can shop for essentials without cost or judgment. But according to Hoffman, the deeper mission is empowerment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe want every woman to know she is powerful in the event of an unexpected pregnancy or difficult parenting circumstance,\u201d she explained. \u201cHere in the U.S., there is a culture of shame around asking for help. Whether you are married with three kids and struggle to pay the bills or are a single parent who doesn\u2019t know where your family\u2019s next meal will come from, we want to be a resource you can count on.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/lebanon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/06\/4-2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23723\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/lebanon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/06\/4-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/lebanon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/06\/4-2-980x653.jpg 980w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/lebanon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/06\/4-2-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photography by Ashleigh Newnes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A VILLAGE REBUILT, ONE FREE STORE AT A TIME<br><\/strong>The free stores are stocked entirely by community donations but curated with dignity in mind. The stores offer everything from clothing to toys to brand-new car seats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe offer 0 to 5T clothing, maternity clothes, toys for kids, books, and brand-new car seats, in some locations,\u201d Hoffman explained. \u201cAll of this is coming from the local community, which is really great because we do love that it\u2019s kind of recycling. But all we put out is the best of the best. We want moms to feel dignity again. In these really hard moments of motherhood, we want them to know that they can be empowered.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Life Options Network doesn\u2019t stop providing diapers and clothing. Their advocacy program is long-term and deeply personal. They help mothers move into new housing, plan finances, access services, and build stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/lebanon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/06\/2-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23721\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/lebanon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/06\/2-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/lebanon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/06\/2-1-980x653.jpg 980w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/lebanon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/06\/2-1-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photography by Ashleigh Newnes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>FINDING A HOME<br><\/strong>Hoffman and her family moved to Tennessee in 2022 when her husband accepted a job in Nashville.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI live in Lebanon,\u201d she said. \u201cMy husband got a job in Nashville in 2022. We were looking around [for a place] to live, and we landed in Lebanon, and we love it here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While she wasn\u2019t sure if Middle Tennessee would embrace the idea of a free store, those doubts were put to rest thanks to a local church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe had a local church come alongside us \u2014 New Tribe Church \u2014 to help us open and establish things,\u201d Hoffman said. \u201cIt\u2019s been pretty amazing. They\u2019ve come around it, and they\u2019ve been so excited, and we\u2019ve been able to impact because of their partnership.

People can reach out to us from anywhere across the country and get advocacy,\u201d Hoffman said. \u201cBecause we see this as an issue across the nation, we want mamas to know that they can be helped.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Hoffman, the best part of the organization is knowing that mothers are getting the village that they deserve, and that people both in Lebanon and across the country can help. All donations, no matter how small, make a big impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;We\u2019ve already helped 64 mamas in Middle Tennessee since the beginning of 2026,\u201d said Hoffman. \u201cWe helped hundreds last year in the Middle Tennessee area through our free store. If people give $10 a month, that\u2019s going to help one mama come in the door annually,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd she gets up to $5,000 worth of free product, including baby furniture, clothing, supplies, and advocacy services, which are all included. We really understand that, a lot of times, women are making decisions because there just isn\u2019t enough support. And we want to be that support system that supports where, if a mother needs somewhere to fall back, she can.\u201d <strong>GN<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>For more information, visit online at <a href=\"https:\/\/lifeoptionsnetwork.org\">lifeoptionsnetwork.org<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MOTHERHOOD IS one of the most universal experiences in the world, yet it remains one of the loneliest.
