The Pregnancy Care Center of Warren County will be having its annual Walk For Life this Saturday at Three Star Mall. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. with the walk starting at 10 a.m.

All proceeds will benefit the non-profit Pregnancy Care Center.

“We don’t receive any government funding and we don’t want any. We just don’t want them being able to tell us what we can or can’t say to our clients,” said Jodi Hubbard director of the center.

“We survive by local churches, private contributors and events such as this.”

With Warren County being ranked No. 5 in the nation for teenage pregnancy per capita, Hubbard said education on abstinence and self-confidence through outreach programs is one of the things offered at the pregnancy center.

The center mainly assists with crisis pregnancies by providing services such as free pregnancy testing, supplies, trained counselors to assist clients with their needs throughout their pregnancy, and education about pregnancy.

“We have seen approximately 120 clients in the two years the center has been in operation,” said Hubbard.

If you have questions concerning the Pregnancy Care Center, or would like to make a contribution, please call the center at 507-5072.
