Hope for Women
Deanna Lemke

Deanna Lemke is the Site Manager at Hope for Women Pregnancy Services in Abbotsford, where she is now in her third year of serving women and families in her community. Deanna is passionate about creating a place where every woman feels seen, supported, and cared for—especially during times that can feel uncertain or overwhelming.

In her role, she leads a dedicated team that comes alongside women with practical help, encouragement, and genuine care. Deanna brings a relational and heartfelt approach to her leadership, believing that small moments of kindness and connection can make a lasting difference.

In addition to her work locally, Deanna organizes an annual international conference for women in leadership, creating safe space for these women to find community, encouragement, and reminders of their purpose.

 

At Hope for Women, we’re here for every step of the prenatal and postpartum journey. Our Beyond the Bump program offers one-on-one postpartum support, while our Baby Boutique provides families with essential supplies like diapers, formula, and clothing—completely free. BRAVE connects new fathers with mentors who walk alongside them and Reclaimed offers compassionate care and support after abortion. Every program is designed to bring hope, dignity, and practical help to those who need it most. Learn more or get involved today!
