A resolution designating the week beginning November 11, 2024, as "National Pregnancy Center Week" to recognize the vital role that community-supported pregnancy centers play in saving lives and serving women and men faced with difficult pregnancy decisions.
SRES 869 is a Senate resolution designating the week beginning November 11, 2024, as "National Pregnancy Center Week" to publicly recognize community-supported pregnancy centers across the United States. These centers, numbering approximately 3,000 nationwide, provide free services including pregnancy testing, counseling, parenting resources, and material assistance (like baby clothes and housing help) to individuals facing pregnancy decisions, serving about 2 million people annually. The resolution highlights that these centers offer over $350 million in services yearly, primarily through community support without significant government funding. This symbolic resolution does not create new laws but aims to raise awareness of their work in supporting vulnerable individuals.
