The Okanagan Valley Pregnancy Care Centre is a non-profit Christian organization dedicated to helping women (and men) facing an unexpected pregnancy or individuals experiencing stress or depression either post partum, post miscarriage or post abortion.
Women of all nationalities are supported in their decision-making by trained, caring volunteer support workers in a confidential and non-judgmental manner.
Services include:
– pregnancy tests
– crisis pregnancy support workers
– education on pregnancy & fetal development
– information on all pregnancy options, including abortion (procedures and risks), parenting and adoption placement
– practical support services (e.g. maternity items, baby clothes)
– advocacy and referrals to community services (parenting courses, single parent support networks, family physicians, educational and vocational programs)
– post abortion support services
– ongoing birth mother friendship and support
– sexual integrity education (emotional, physical, social and spiritual)
– support for miscarriage and post-partum depression
All services are provided free of charge. OVPCC does NOT provide abortions or abortion referrals.
Mountainview Church has supported the ministry of OVPCC for the past 20 years, both financially (through an annual Mission Sunday in May where funds are raised for OVPCC) and by the participation of one of its members of Session as a weekly OVPCC volunteer crisis pregnancy support worker.
OVPCC is a registered Canadian charitable organization which derives no government funding and relies on donations from individuals, churches and other community organizations which believe in the sanctity of life and in caring for vulnerable women.
