Free Services
Pregnancy Tests
If you have had unprotected sex, or have missed your period, you might be wondering if you are pregnant. The first thing you may want to do is take a pregnancy test. We offer lab-quality pregnancy testing at our center at no cost. Services are free and confidential.
Ultrasound
Our parenting classes are designed for new and expecting moms. Don't forget that Dads are encouraged to participate in your journey. Our parenting classes are designed for all expecting moms and dads to provide the basic fundamentals of parenting. Pregnancy, childbirth, child development, parenting skills and more are the focus of these sessions.
Pregnancy Counseling
We want you to be informed on all of your pregnancy options. When a woman is facing an unexpected pregnancy, she may want information on abortion, the abortion pill, adoption, and parenting. It is very important that women receive accurate information in a safe environment. We are here to answer your questions and direct you to the appropriate resources. Services are free and confidential.
Post Abortion Support
There is no right or wrong way to feel after your abortion. Every woman’s experience is unique. Relief, anger, sadness, and hope can all exist at one time. That may be confusing, but it’s also normal. If you’re looking for emotional support after abortion, we’re here to help. Services are free and confidential.
Support for Young Families
Through our Earn While You Learn Program (EWYL) you can receive parenting education and emotional support from advocates, in-person or virtually. These visits earn points to exchange for baby essentials.
Community Assistance Referrals
We understand that often there is more than parenting resources that you need. We work with other local organizations to provide you with the community and financial resources that can guide you into a stable future. Services are free and confidential.
Fatherhood Program
Our fatherhood program helps dads look at their experience with their own father, learn the skills needed to be a great dad, and better understand the important role a dad plays in the life of his children. Additionally, we will discuss aspects of the mother-father relationship as it relates to parenting. Services are free and confidential.
Mothers Keepers Program
The day-to-day activities of any mother can be overwhelming. Sometimes, it can seem like there aren’t enough hours in the day. Because we believe in offering family-led support, we created Mother’s Keepers. This program matches each family with a trained volunteer who completes acts of service within the home to “lighten the load” so family members can better bond with their new baby.
