Vision For The Future

Tax Deductible

Guiding Star Women’s Center, dba as Together for Life Northland, is a 501(c)3 charitable organization. As such, donations are tax deductible.

Community Support

The cost of women experiencing housing instability due to pregnancy burdens not only the young woman and her child, but also the community surrounding her. Together For Life provides financial support to pro-woman and pro-family organizations across the Northland.
