SCV Pregnancy Center officials held three Facebook live events on Giving Tuesday, which fell on Nov. 28, 2017, in an effort to collect as many donations as possible for their planned relocation to a new facility in 2018.

“We raised about $100,000 in matching funds,” said Angela Bennett, president/CEO of the SCV Pregnancy Center. “(It was) awesome. Thank you to everyone.”

The funds have been earmarked for a condo suite project on Copper Hill and Newhall Ranch Road in Santa Clarita, which broke ground last spring, according to Bennett.

“We are coming in on the home stretch,” she said. “It looks like we should be in sometime by mid-February. We are so excited.”

At its new location, the SCV Pregnancy Center will continue to operate as a nonprofit medical clinic that focuses on pregnancy diagnostics, pregnancy testing, ultrasounds, STD testing, personal support through decision making and counseling and more.

“We’ll see them to diagnose the pregnancy, they’ll enroll in programs and we’ll see them throughout the pregnancy,” said Bennett. “And often we get to enjoy watching some of their little ones grow.”

A brand new program set to launch this year will be geared toward teen parents — both moms and dads — in an effort to provide parenting tools, relationship tools, life coaching for the future, support groups and assistance with supplies.

“Parenting is never what you think it’s going to be … but with good support, it’s so doable, and even for teens it’s very, very doable,” said Bennett. “Sometimes I see these teens rise up beyond those who are older than them and do a great job.”

Bennett concluded, “It’s fabulous just being available to help people in transition in their lives with big decisions. It’s awesome.”
