The Care Net Pregnancy Center and Family Support Services Office offer area girls and women, who find themselves in unplanned pregnancy situations, options counseling and material supports until their children reach school age.  All services are free of charge and there are no income requirements/restrictions. 

Executive Director Anna Anderson said, “There seems to be some confusion after the overturning of Roe v. Wade by the Supreme Court on 06/24/22.  Some folks think this means Care Net closed.  We are open and offer the same services we have since 1988.”  Specifically, the Care Net Pregnancy Center offers girls and women free pregnancy tests, options counseling for unplanned pregnancies, prenatal care classes, childbirth education classes, breastfeeding education, parenting classes, community resource referrals, adoption referrals, post-abortion healing classes, pregnancy loss support, sexual risk education, and more. 

Material supports are available through the Care Net Family Support Services Office.  Items such as clothing for preemie infants through 4T for all seasons, cribs, high chairs, booster seats, strollers, pack-n-plays, bassinettes, car seats, crib bedding, diapers, formula, baby food, toys, books, and much more are offered.  Anderson said, “Basically anything a new mom or parents of toddlers need, we generally have for our clients.”
