Day #76: Give with Crisis Pregnancy Center in Bristol, TN

150 Days, Giving, Non-Profit Organizations

We volunteered today at the Crisis Pregnancy Center here in Bristol. The center is a safe place for pregnant women to get educational materials, support throughout their pregnancy, and even clothes for their new baby (0-4T) - all for free.

The four of us sorted through boxes of clothing donations. We separated items by size, gender, and season. Our oldest daughter was a pro at putting everything in the correct piles.

While we were there, a first-time mom (6 months along) came into the center hoping to get clothes for her newborn. Stephanie and the girls helped her find a few infant outfits.

Looks like a wonderful Pregnancy Center. I always love to see places that support the mamas after the birth by giving clothing and supplies.

Pregnancy centers like this one are so very important. I appreciate the work they do!

Our family spent 2011 traveling the USA in an RV, striving to intentionally "give every day" for the glory of God. We interviewed CEOs of nonprofits and served alongside over 40 organizations and churches.
