What is Step by Step?
Step By Step was founded in 1997 with the mission to transform the lives of at-risk pregnant women, enabling them to deliver healthy babies, embrace positive parenting and establish a safe home. 27 trained professional nurses and counselors work with over 1000 clients, encouraging them to break out of negative cycles and fight for a better future for themselves and their children – one small step at a time.

What is Northview's role?
Every year, Step By Step’s team members, clients and their families join together to celebrate Christmas in two locations. Northview hosts one of these!
How can I help?
There are lots of ways to get involved!
• Pray! Please pray for all the planning and logistics, and for the families that will attend!
• Volunteer! There are lots of ways to help the day of the event and with set up beforehand. Work in the kitchen or dining room, the family fun area, host a family through the building, serve hot cocoa to families as they arrive, and more! We need adults and students.
• Fill a grocery bag! Each family will receive a bag of food as well as a grocery gift card. Pick up a bag and grocery list in the Lobby on Sunday mornings. Filled bags will be collected the week before the party.
• Roast a turkey breast! Families will be served a holiday turkey dinner and we need 40 roasted turkey breasts! Click here to register.
• Bake cookies! One of the fun activities for families is cookie decorating – and we’ll need about 600 sugar cookies. Click here to sign up to bake 50 cookies.
• Donate! Contributions of any amount are welcome! Click here to access our Giving page and choose Step by Step from the drop down menu. Cash donations help offset the costs of the turkey diner and the groceries / gift cards that each family receive.
