About Care Net Resource Pregnancy Centers

Care Net Peninsula was founded in 1986 as Peninsula Crisis Pregnancy Center. We are a nonprofit organization on a mission to bring practical help and hope in Jesus Christ to women facing pregnancy decisions. Care Net Peninsula operates a medical clinic in Newport News offering laboratory-quality pregnancy testing, options counseling, pregnancy confirmation by ultrasound, distribution of prenatal vitamins to under served communities, and referral to numerous community health and assistance organizations, including adoption agencies. Care Net Peninsula equips families to raise healthy children by offering free parenting and life skill education with reward-based incentives. Care Net Peninsula offers emergency material assistance of maternity and infant clothing, diapers and other items. Care Net Peninsula facilitates emotional healing for women who have had past abortions through Biblical-based study. We do not provide abortions or refer to abortion providers.
