real help, for those in our community who are facing an unexpected
or expected pregnancy. They provide compassionate support,
and education as well as practical physical assistance throughout
pregnancy and afterward. Through their Bright Course learn and earn
program, clients participate in one-on-one lessons in pregnancy,
infancy, childcare, parenting, life skills, and Bible. These lessons allow
clients to acquire the items they need for their children such as car
seats, strollers, cribs, highchairs, diapers, wipes, and clothing.
The center offers free on-site pregnancy tests and maintains a
24/7 hotline for those who may find themselves needing hope and
help due to a pregnancy. In addition, they offer referrals for free
off-site ultrasounds, STD testing, and adoption services. They also
