For nearly 40 years, the Women’s Center has offered compassion, hope, and practical help to those facing pregnancy, parenting, and relational challenges. Because of the abundant generosity of our donors, the center received funds to aid in the move, and we finally have the perfect place to call home. We invite you to see the space, meet the folks who work on behalf of the center’s mission, and learn more about our hopes and dreams for the impact of this new space.
The Women’s Center’s Executive Director, Joanie Praamsma, shares her favorite parts about the new space:
“The larger space that is ground level and ADA accessible includes a conference room which will host group classes on topics such as childbirth & parenting. We will continue to offer pregnancy confirmation in our new ultrasound room, and 1:1 educational classes and recovery support in a comfortable counseling room. The new space also houses our popular boutique, Zoey’s Place, where anyone can obtain needed 0-5T clothing, maternity clothes, and other essential baby items. This vital community resource is made affordable for all because everything is offered at a suggested donation.
The generosity of our supporters has made this campaign quite successful, and I look forward to leading us as we attain our $160,000 campaign goal and raise the remaining $30,000 over the coming winter and spring.”
