PCN’s New Building Campaign
“Advancing the Cause . . . Saving Lives”
Our Goal
Since 1982, Pregnancy Center North (PCN) has cared for over 30,000 women in the Baltimore community, offering hope, help and healing with our totally free services that support moms’ medical, emotional and material needs and save babies’ lives. We need YOU to help us realize our dream of moving to a larger, more modern center that will better serve our clients’ needs!
Our Clients
PCN was founded to give women considering abortion a place where they would be empowered to make life-affirming decisions. Every 20 seconds, in the U.S., a child is aborted. Women facing unexpected pregnancies are overwhelmed and pressured by abortion providers, who prey upon their vulnerability. To remain competitive, we must provide a safe, professional, medical space, which builds trust and encourages the client-advocate relationship.
The Need
Currently, our center is suffering from inaccessibility and poor design. It is a second-floor space, without an elevator, in an older building on a busy thoroughfare. Our clients are forced to pay for metered parking or walk a distance to reach us. The interior lacks a professional appearance; has small offices and little storage space, making for clutter; and antiquated heating and window A/C units that make it difficult to control the interior temperature.
The Plan
We are thrilled to have found a new space at 7402 York Road, slightly north of our current location. It is an empty shell, which allows us to design and build the interior to our specifications, creating a larger, more modern center that will contain medical areas, a multipurpose room for educational classes and support groups, comfortable counseling rooms, etc., to better serve our clients’ needs. The space is ground level, on a bus line, and has ample free parking.
