Hi Lauren, unfortunately there is so much misinformation about crisis pregnancy centers! Have you ever been inside one? I know as a public health professional you are probably told all kinds of things of how “harmful” they are. My sister is working for one in AZ, and the daily stories she tells me of these women that walk through the doors are heartbreaking. They are starting out as new mothers with little to no support. All they are doing is showing these women love and support and options for starting out as a new mother. As well as ways to get affordable care. It’s disappointing that it is considered “controversial” to do so. My sister has seen these womens completely change their lives as a result of someone who actually cared for them personally and their baby. The center I am donating to offers these essential needs for women who walk through their door with no financial means. There are no strings attached. There are no political agendas. Please feel free to email me if you would like to discuss! I definitely did my fair share of research before deciding to donate.

I would donate if the recipient wasn’t a crisis pregnancy center, but instead an actual medical clinic or women’s nonprofit (many women’s shelters and other non-partisan organizations give similar items to new moms this time of year). Unfortunately, as a public health professional I just can’t support this. Crisis pregnancy centers are not what they seem and actually do a lot of harm in communities! I hope next year you can find a less controversial organization to donate to.

I am going to contact our pregnancy crisis center in Detroit area to do the same! What amazing people to donate too! Small acts of love are a true gift and REALLY make a BIG difference.

That is so kind of you! Thank you Christina! I might take you up on that considering how many items will need to be sorted:)
