Abundant Life Canon City Pregnancy Center (CCPC) is a long-standing nonprofit in Fremont County, Colorado. We serve clients in Fremont County and the surrounding mountain communities. We offer a wide variety of broadening services based on client needs and collaborate with other area agencies to provide holistic care. Outside of material services, we currently offer pregnancy tests; referrals for ultrasounds; educational classes, and book studies; as well as soft referrals to community agencies on an as-needed basis. We are adding a medical clinic for specific family services in the Spring of 2023 in order to better meet community needs due to limited OB/Gyn and sexually transmitted infection care within the area. We are actively collaborating with our local health department to fill the gaps in healthcare, specifically surrounding sexual & relationship health. We will begin this journey by offering in-house ultrasounds, Abortion Pill Reversal (APR), and STI testing and treatment. Additional services will be added as needed through ongoing evaluation. Last year we began addressing the need for increased support for fathers. This has been successful and we now have a male staff member who serves in a specialized role to meet dads where they are and remind them how important they are in a child's life. All of our services are provided at no cost to our clients.

Testimonials

My name is Gina and I have a 5-month-old baby, her name is Alicia. I heard about the (Canon City) Pregnancy Center through my boyfriend's cousin. She told me how much they can help me with my daughter. I visited the first time and started doing classes and getting more involved. I love taking classes because each one is different. The class is worth it
because you learn things you may not know. The boutique is very nice. You get to go to the boutique once a week to choose clothes for your baby. I really enjoy the pregnancy center because they help so much. I started out with nothing, but once my daughter was born, I was ready for her. I am so glad that we have the pregnancy center to help us, parents, with formula, diapers, wipes, and baby food as well as clothes. I am glad I am doing classes because I learn so much more. My boyfriend takes classes as well. I got my daughter something using the points that I earned from the classes. I also donate things back to the pregnancy center so another parent can use the clothes. The classes are the easiest to earn points to get things for your children.

Not every Mom has a solid support system in place when it comes to their children. We might feel alone in the task of raising our children or just need someone to reassure us of our efforts. The pregnancy center has not only supported me by providing basic needs for my young children, but more importantly, perhaps, it has given me emotional and educational support. Helping me to be a better Mom and allowing me to give myself some grace through the difficult and rewarding journey of raising my littles.

Hello! My name is Kalie Hyde. When I was pregnant with my first baby last year I was embraced by our Pregnancy Center. They offered my husband and I support, counseling, and diapers! Most of my child's clothes are from their boutique. The staff has always been so loving and patient with my family. I've been blessed to get to know many of them personally. Sharing stories of excitement and struggles, always in prayer. It is wonderful for our community to have a Christ-centered abundant life center to help support families in need. Raising a baby, or multiple, is hard and they have always stepped up as a service for those that need compassion, help, and hope in our community. Just knowing we aren't alone and that we have a place to lean on has provided hope for our family. Thank you to all the workers and volunteers at the pregnancy center! And thank you to all those who graciously donate to the center! Because of the donations, we are a more united community. God Bless! 

Giving Activity

Mission

The Canon City Pregnancy Center (CCPC) exists to provide pregnancy & family services for Fremont County and the surrounding areas. We are here to support each individual with their emotional, physical, material and spiritual needs.

Background Statement

Founded in 1984, Abundant Life Crisis Pregnancy Center was committed to assisting pregnant women to carry their babies to term by providing emotional support & practical assistance. This was in response to the growing number of unplanned pregnancies & the increasing ease of having an abortion. In the 90s, the name was changed to Cañon City Pregnancy Center (CCPC) to simplify the phone book search.

In the almost 40 years we've been serving Fremont County & the surrounding communities, our services have grown & changed with the needs of those we serve. We are blessed to serve families of all types & ages. We actively support each individual with their emotional physical, material, and spiritual needs.

We are committed to creating awareness within our local community regarding pregnancy & parenting choices, sexual risk, and family dynamics. We empower those we serve, through education & opportunity, to make choices that move them towards being high-functioning, contributing members of our community.
