Life Choices Banquet honors volunteers, inspires with testimonies

Life Choices Resource Center, Metuchen, proudly hosted their annual Charity Banquet, “Defending God’s Most Precious Miracles,” Feb. 25, by “honoring all of our loyal, dedicated and talented volunteers.  These men and women share their gifts with us and are the spirit and backbone of our center,” said Elaine Yunker, LCRC director of outreach.

Special guest for the event, which was an evening of inspiration and hope, was Bill Spadea, host of the #1 morning radio show, 101.5. Staff, volunteers and guests for the evening were inspired by Bill’s passion and love for God, families and the unborn lives the center works to protect every day.

Bill highlighted Life Choices, and the services we provide, the next day on his radio show.  “We are all very grateful for his public commitment to the pro-life movement,” said Yunker.

The evening was also highlighted by a video from Bishop James F. Checchio and his commitment and prayers for Life Choices and all the centers who promote and protect the value of life.

“Other proud moments were when two of our student ambassadors, Adrian, a senior at St. Joseph High School, Metuchen, led the appeal for the evening and we showed a video produced by Elan, an 8th grade student at St. Thomas, Old Bridge,” said Yunker.

The director of outreach also shared, “Four of our very brave and thankful clients gave their personal testimonies to the more than 230 guests at the banquet.  One of this year’s clients shared her story of being trafficked from Honduras, held hostage, and raped, but understood the value of her child’s precious life.  She is now loving and enjoying her baby girl. One of our many dad clients also offered his testimony on how he is raising his daughter, while working and going to school.  Everything is Possible with God!”
