‘Walk For Life’
The Pregnancy Care Centers of Aroostook will hold its “Walk For Life” in Fort Kent, Presque Isle and Houlton beginning with registration at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 14.
The walk begins at 7 p.m., and is one of PCC’s largest fundraisers. This is a police-escorted two-mile walk, held rain or shine.
The purpose of the walk is to raise funds for the non-profit organization. Participants are asked to get a sponsor sheet, find sponsors, record them and collect the money. Those who raise $100 or more receives a T-shirt.
Call 554-8396 to request a sponsor sheet or go online to www.pcc-hope.org. For those unable to walk but would still like to sponsor a walker, call 554-8396. Specific walk locations are Jalbert Park in Fort Kent, State Street Baptist Church on Second Street in Presque Isle and the Pregnancy Care Center on 56 Military Street in Houlton.
Funds raised will help provide free pregnancy tests, maternity and infants clothing, parenting classes, material assistance (diapers, wipes, toiletry items), counseling for women who are seeking healing from a past abortion and the “Give Moms Credit” program where mothers can earn specific baby furniture by attending parenting classes, watching educational videos, and completing Bible studies. There is also a “Survivor Intervention” program which is designed to equip young people with the tools necessary to face the current pressures they encounter daily.
