Natchitoches, LA — The Women’s Resource Center (WRC) of Natchitoches proudly welcomed State Representative Gabe Firment for an in-depth tour of the Center this week. During his visit, Rep. Firment met with staff and volunteers, gaining firsthand insight into the life-affirming work the Center provides to women, children, and families throughout the region.

Rep. Firment was introduced to WRC’s full suite of services, including pregnancy testing, limited ultrasounds, parenting education, and material assistance. He observed the Rose Long Educational Center and the Little Rose Boutique, which adds a confidential education space and a boutique offering diapers, formula, baby food, clothing, and essential baby supplies. 

Executive Director Nicole Woods emphasized the importance of Rep. Firment’s visit: “Representative Firment’s visit shines a light on the vital services we provide and underscores the continued need for both community and legislative support to reach more families. He has been a strong advocate for maternal wellness centers, dedicating his efforts both in Baton Rouge and throughout his district.”

Founded in 1989, the Women’s Resource Center remains committed to its mission of walking alongside women with truth, grace, and practical support. In June 2025, WRC postured itself as a recognized Maternal Wellness Center, strengthening its capacity to safeguard maternal and infant health.  Firment’s support of the Maternal Wellness Center Tax Credit demonstrates his commitment to strengthening resources for women and families by encouraging community investment in life-affirming care.

The Women’s Resource Center is a Christ-centered nonprofit providing free, confidential support to women navigating pregnancy and early motherhood. Services include pregnancy testing, options counseling, prenatal and parenting education, material aid, and community referrals.  All women, regardless of income or insurance status, are offered free, confidential services at WRC, including pregnancy testing, limited ultrasounds, education, emotional support, and access to essential baby items.
