The Pro-Life movement goes beyond advocating for the unborn—it’s about building a society where families, especially those with limited resources, are supported at every step. In Houston, a remarkable faith-based organization called Project One Day is embodying this mission by providing free, high-quality childcare for single parents.
Finding affordable and trustworthy daycare can be one of the most significant challenges for parents, especially those with infants and toddlers. Houston, unfortunately, ranks as the toughest city in the United States for single parents to raise children. Understanding this, Project One Day has stepped up to offer a solution that’s as compassionate as it is practical: free, Christ-centered childcare for children from 6 weeks to 3 years old.

Here’s how it works: parents volunteer one day a week at the facility and, in return, they receive 40 hours of free childcare each week. This cooperative model not only gives the parent an opportunity to work or go to school while their baby is in good hands but also fosters a close-knit community for parents who might otherwise feel isolated. The parents who volunteer at the center create lifelong friendships that are rooted in Jesus Christ.
Jenny Johnson, president of Project One Day, explained, “Our space is more than just childcare—it’s a community of support. Every parent in our program has nine trained, background-checked, drug-tested friends, right, to call on the weekend when they need support. And that’s relationship.”
As Project One Day’s website states, “Parents volunteer one day a week and receive 40 hours of FREE, faith-based child care to facilitate their work or education. For low-income families, this can be a game changer.” This model is not only practical but uplifting, giving parents the gift of opportunity, community, and hope. It’s a place that ensures every parent has a chance to build a stable, fulfilling life for themselves and their children.
Project One Day is a reminder that we can all make a difference in the lives of others, sharing God’s love and compassion in practical, life-changing ways.
