First at Blue Ridge

McDowell Pregnancy Care Center is a non-profit, non-denominational, non-political organization committed to providing care, compassion, information and support to anyone facing pregnancy whether planned or unplanned. We have been serving McDowell and surrounding counties since 2003.We rely on donations received from local churches, businesses, individuals, groups, and occasional grants. All services are free and confidential.

Motherhood is a blessing but sometimes you need a little extra help. Our client advocates will inform you of the local agencies and programs that can support you. We can also help with maternity clothes and baby supplies for up to 18 months. Adoption is a compassionate alternative to abortion. Adoption can provide your child with a safe, stable family environment, and you can feel good about giving your child an opportunity to live a full life. Open Arms provides a free limited ultrasound to confirm a viable pregnancy and determine gestational age. We desire to be a safe place for you, and will not judge or pressure you. We truly care and we are here for you.
