When a local teen in a crisis pregnancy placed her newborn infant into a dumpster behind Ludington High School in 1992, a group of concerned men and women were moved to begin West Shore Pregnancy Care Center (WSPCC). As a nonprofit organization our mission is to care for those with pregnancy-related concerns and families of young children by meeting their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. All the services offered at WSPCC are confidential and free of charge. We provide pregnancy tests, referrals to community support services, peer counseling, maternity, infant and toddler clothing, prenatal books and information, diapers, numerous infant supplies, baby food and formula. Through our Earn While You Learn educational program, clients are given education on parenting, caring for their babies, relationships and finances. They are given the opportunity to earn a new crib or convertible car seat. It is most important that we offer them personal friendship, and support.

In addition, WSPCC is also actively impacting our community through the preventative measure of presenting abstinence presentations and education on sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). We are currently making these presentations in Ludington, Scottville, Custer and Pentwater school districts.
