We provide a free, self-administered pregnancy test and consultation by trained volunteers for women and their partners. This consultation includes, when appropriate, information about sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), fetal development, pregnancy options, and abortion procedures. We also make appointments for medical diagnosis of pregnancy, PCAP, and free sonograms. As well we will help make arrangements for other social and legal services when necessary. For those who choose to continue their pregnancies we offer ongoing support through our other programs. This service is offered in both English and Spanish.

Material Assistance

    We supply expectant  mothers with a layette which includes essential items for their newborn. We also provide expectant mothers with a crib and car seat if needed. We also offer clothing, disposable diapers, formula, baby food, and other baby items through the child’s first year through our incentive system. This system gives credit to the women for their participation in the parenting classes in the form of “Mommy Money”. After each class we open our Mommy Store where the women use their credit to pick out the supplies they need for their baby. 

Counseling Services

We offer professional counseling at our center free of charge for up to one year. We also offer referrals for expectant and new mothers who seek long term therapy and help cover costs for those cases involving abuse. At our center we also have a mothers’ support group that meets twice a month.

 Parenting Classes

We provide pre-natal and parenting classes in both English and Spanish. The pre-natal class covers such topics as nutrition, doctors’ appointments, the changing body, fetal development, delivery, and new born care. The parenting class covers the topics of baby’s health, communication, safety, discipline, early literacy, and quality child care. Using the incentive system involving extra credit for coming on time, we have had good attendance in these classes.

Employment Training
