Center helps pregnant moms
HOPE – Hope’s 1st Choice Pregnancy Center has been providing support for women in our community who are facing unplanned pregnancies since September, 2013.
In addition to emotional support and practical assistance, the clinic can also provide clients with pregnancy tests and ultrasounds on a limited basis. Hope’s 1st Choice is located in the Charitable Christian Clinic at 114 South Main Street. It’s open from 5:30 until 7:00 every Tuesday evening, and never charges for any of services.
To help prepare women for parenthood, Hope’s 1st Choice offers numerous classes on such topics as prenatal health, newborn care, and parenting that are facilitated by knowledgeable and caring volunteers. Clients receive “Mommy Bucks” for classes they attend that can be used to purchase useful items in our Mommy Store. Additionally, once a quarter it offers a Safety Baby Shower that covers SIDS, breastfeeding, poison control, and car seat safety. Clients who successfully complete a Safety Baby Shower receive an infant car seat.
Funds received from the United Way help purchase these car seats. Hope’s 1st Choice Pregnancy Center is open to all new moms and mothers-to-be in the Hope community. Walk-ins are welcome and inquiries can be emailed to hopefirstchoice1@gmail.com.
