Riverside Life Services

What Riverside Life Services does

Riverside Life Services is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1975 and headquartered at 3727 McCray St in Riverside, California. It provides free and low-cost pregnancy-related services to women and families in the Inland Empire, operating through a single physical clinic with extended weekday and Tuesday-evening hours. The organization employs between 1 and 10 staff members, supported by two Medical Directors (Dr. Christopher Pann and Dr. Thomas Minahan), a Clinic Director/Sonographer, a Nurse Manager, a Client Services Director, and a Marketing and Outreach Coordinator, plus volunteer labor.

The organization's core clinical offering is pregnancy confirmation via urine testing followed by limited ultrasound to verify intrauterine pregnancy, viability, gestational age, and expected due date. Around this medical anchor, it has built six coordinated service lines: counseling and mentorship, an education program of nearly 30 classes from pregnancy through toddler stages, support groups (breastfeeding, miscarriage recovery, post-abortion healing, and Dads 4 Life), quality referrals to prenatal care, financial/housing assistance, and domestic violence support, and a Baby Boutique where clients redeem credits earned through class attendance for donated baby items. The organization also operates a dedicated Spanish-language website and class calendar to reach the Hispanic community.

Riverside Life Services does not generate commercial revenue. All services are provided free or at minimal cost to clients, and the operating budget is funded by individual donations (one-time and monthly sponsors), private foundation grants, gifts in kind (baby supplies, diapers, clothing), and uncompensated volunteer labor. The reported impact metrics include approximately 800 ultrasounds per year, more than 1,950 diaper packages distributed in the prior year, and a stated 90% carry rate among women who receive an ultrasound at the facility. There are no patents, no published technology platform, no app or API, and no disclosed revenue figures.
