About Us
Mother & Child Education Center has offered practical help to many thousands of pregnant women and families since our founding in 1971. We are an independent nonprofit organization, governed by a board of directors and managed by an executive director. We receive no government funding and are supported entirely by donations, grants and fundraisers. All services are provided without restrictions of residency or income. You are welcome to stop by without an appointment.
Who we serve
Mother & Child Education Center is here for you… If you think you might be pregnant, know you are pregnant or hope to one day become pregnant. If you care about someone who is, might be, or hopes to be pregnant. If you are a parent, grandparent, foster parent, or caregiver of a little child.
No Restrictions
All are welcome. Our services are free. You do not need to bring ID or proof of income. You do not need to live in a specific area. You do not need to make an appointment.
Our Vision
A world where children are welcomed and nurtured…in the womb, in the home, in the community and beyond…
