Free services to the community

WILLIAMSON, W.Va. — WellSpring Pregnancy and Family Resource Center announced its grand opening is Saturday, Oct. 15, at 11 a.m. The public is invited to join in the celebration.

The pregnancy center is at 98 Parkway Drive, Williamson, W.Va., on the ground level of the Kiwanis Community Center in West End, Williamson.

“We are so excited to bring this much-needed resource to our community,” said Cody Justice, executive director. “Our services will help equip families with the right tools to be successful and overcome the obstacles of pregnancy. We believe this family services center will be a ‘wellspring’ of life and hope to our community.”

WellSpring Pregnancy and Family Resource will provide free services to the community, such as ultrasounds, pregnancy tests, parenting education classes, peer counseling, job readiness skills, community referrals, post-abortion counseling, bereavement counseling and spiritual support.

The center’s programs will be built on an “earn while you learn” program where participants earn “baby bucks” to use in the baby boutique. The baby boutique will be supplied mainly by community donations of baby clothing, diapers, bottles, cribs, car seats, formula, wipes, shoes, blankets, bibs, etc.

The grand opening ceremonies will also include an open house tour of the facility where you can meet the staff and see the center.
