Peace everyone,
Earlier this year, All-Options was facing the real possibility of closing our organization.
Thanks to supporters like you: we’re still here!
And while we’re incredibly grateful for the opportunity to continue our important work in Indiana and nationwide, saving All-Options meant making tough decisions, including closing our pregnancy resource center in Bloomington, Indiana.
Our Board of Directors announced this bittersweet news back in June and we want to take a moment now to honor the impact and celebrate the accomplishments of our pregnancy resource center over the last decade.
In 2015, we opened the nation’s first All-Options Pregnancy Resource Center in Bloomington, Indiana offering free pregnancy tests, condoms, diapers and baby care supplies, abortion funding and adoption referrals – all under one roof.
We intentionally sought to reinvent and subvert the pregnancy center model in the spirit of truly judgment-free, all-options counseling and support, and to demonstrate that anti-abortion organizations do not have a monopoly on supporting parents and people who choose to continue their pregnancies. The All-Options model shows how we can change the conversation and build a movement toward reproductive justice where pregnancy, parenting, abortion, and adoption are accessible and supported for all people, without bias, coercion, or judgment.
In our first two years, we launched the Hoosier Abortion Fund and the Hoosier Diaper Program, serving hundreds of local families seeking diapers, wipes, financial support for abortion care, and a safe, judgment-free space. Parents could visit during open hours, pick up supplies in our free corner, chat with our staff and our volunteer peer counselors, and access referrals to additional services as needed.
When we started, our resources were limited: we didn’t have a dedicated period program, and our diaper client list was small with a waiting list of over 200 families.
In 2018, we started offering emergency diaper provision, ensuring no one left the All-Options Pregnancy Resource Center empty-handed.
By 2019, with the help of new grants, we were able to expand the Hoosier Diaper Program, remove the waiting list, and serve more families each month.
The start of the pandemic in 2020 brought unique challenges, but we never missed a beat. We pivoted to contact-free diaper distribution, offered free delivery for over 18 months, and expanded with monthly satellite distributions in neighboring communities who needed our support.
In 2021, we began providing a monthly supply of diapers to former abortion fund clients experiencing unmet diaper need, shipping diapers to families all across the state of Indiana.
When we were facing the possibility of closing All-Options in early 2025, we remained steadfast in our commitment to local pregnant and parenting Hoosiers, maintaining our critical programs for as long as we could. Last fiscal year (July 1, 2024 – June 30, 2025), we distributed 170,525 diapers to 430 families and 2,500 period packs to people who needed menstrual supplies. Our Hoosier Abortion Fund pledged nearly $400,000 to over 800 people throughout the state of Indiana seeking legal, out-of-state abortion care.
Even though the All-Options Pregnancy Resource Center is closed, its impact will resonate far beyond those walls in Bloomington.
Over the last decade, we got to know so many families – those who came every month, some who stopped by multiple times a month. Our staff and volunteers offered a listening ear about parenting, potty training, trying to conceive, and the joys and struggles of family life.
We created a space where people felt safe to ask for what they needed, and we showed what’s possible when a community comes together to meet each other’s needs.
We’re so proud of how we were able to show up for pregnant Hoosiers and families across the state of Indiana! Since 2015, with our community’s support, we have:
- distributed over 1 million diapers to local families
- distributed more than 7,000 period packs to women, girls, and other folks who menstruate
- spent over $1.3 million to support more than 7,000* pregnant Hoosiers statewide with accessing abortion care
- and so much more!
And we could not have done this work without you – the people who donated to our organization, the local groups who referred clients to our programs, and the dedicated staff, volunteers, and interns who created a judgment-free space where everyone felt welcomed, heard, and seen. From the bottom of our hearts: thank you for helping us make this possible!
Although we closed our brick-and-mortar location, All-Options is still open and our commitment to pregnant and parenting Hoosiers continues!

*Correction: a previous version of this statement said we “spent over $1.3 million to support more than 700 pregnant Hoosiers statewide with accessing abortion care.” This has been updated to reflect that we served more than 7,000, not 700, pregnant Hoosiers.
