There are a lot of misconceptions about pregnancy centers and the services we provide, so let’s take a moment to clear a few things up.

❌ Misconception: “There’s a catch to free pregnancy services.”
✔️ Truth: Every service we offer is completely free—no insurance, no hidden costs, no pressure.

❌ Misconception: “Free means low-quality or impersonal care.”
✔️ Truth: Our services are provided by trained, compassionate staff who truly care about you.

❌ Misconception: “I have to know what I want before coming in.”
✔️ Truth: You don’t need to have answers. We’re here to help you ask questions, get information, and take things one step at a time.

❌ Misconception: “Pregnancy centers are only for certain people.”
✔️ Truth: Our doors are open to anyone facing a planned, unplanned, or uncertain pregnancy.

If you’ve been unsure about reaching out, we hope this helps bring clarity and peace.
💛 Free. Confidential. Supportive.
