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.
